While all these years we have called upon the best of minds in the field of public policy, it is time to find our own policy testament, and PeaceX is thrilled to string this intent and need with its first-ever public policy panorama – SustainX.
SustainX, a first-of-its-kind case competition will leave you vying for the prize against some of the most talented young policy minds across the globe! SustainX would test your quizzing prowess, case-cracking knuckles, and your ability to architect a palace of policies.

Here’s to you and your will for authoring and initiating the change of times for the best!
Round I: The Quiz-Wiz
This would be an online, objective quiz (one-word or one-phrase answers) on the topics of sustainability, peace, international institutions, social entrepreneurship, youth empowerment, youth leaders, human rights, famous world leaders, and the basics of international relations. The details regarding the quiz will be provided post-registration. There are two slots for Round I. A team may choose any one of these two slots based on their convenience. Please note that the quality and quantity of quiz questions would be similar in both slots. We would not entertain the participation of teams in multiple slots. A team should participate in only one of the two slots for Round I: Slot 1: 12:30 PM GMT/UTC on Monday, April 5, 2021 and Slot 2: 5:30 AM GMT/UTC on Tuesday, April 6, 2021
20 teams would be shortlisted to this round from Round I. A case study on the overarching topics of sustainable development, social entrepreneurship, or corporate social responsibility would be sent to the teams. Each team is expected to solve the case and email their solution framework in the form of a presentation. The teams would be judged on the problematization of the case, creativity, analysis, feasibility, and other auxiliary metrics. The case would be sent to the teams at 2:30 AM GMT/UTC on Wednesday, April 7, 2021. The deadline for submitting their solutions would be 2:30 AM GMT/UTC on Friday, April 9, 2021.
Round III: The Gauntlet
8 teams would be shortlisted to this round from Round II. The teams would be expected to present their case to a panel of judges within a stipulated time limit. A question-answer round would then be held for each team’s presentation.
