Economics Around You
In conjunction with Tutor2u we are launching a photography competition for both AS & A2 Economics students. We are looking for you to take a picture using a camera or smartphone which you think represents an economic concept or issue. Once you think you have a winning photo and caption you can either e-mail it across to businessatthebay@gmail.com or print it out and hand it in to your teacher. If your looking for inspiration check out #econstreet on twitter or follow the link below. Good Luck!
