Welcome to the seventh Young Economist of the Year national award for the promotion and understanding of economics for second-level students.

Students from across the country were invited to submit a research project on a topic of their choice. The judging panel has finished deliberating and the results are in!  We hope you will join us in the celebrations of the wonderful achievements of students and their teachers.   Projects were selected from over 1000 entries for this year’s event and those receiving awards will receive a certificate, medal, branded YEOTY hoodie and a specially commissioned trophy for their school.
