As Chancellor, competition entrants will need to look at the main areas of concern for the government. Each of these areas has a number of different ideas (or policies) to improve life in the UK. Entrants will decide which policies should be prioritized and given money from their overall budget. Each idea has been allocated points, based on how expensive it would be to carry out – and they only have twenty points to spend, so remember you can’t choose them all!

If they feel that something is missing from the Budget, and have their own ideas for public spending, students have the chance to produce their own policy and price it between 1 to 4 points.

As Chancellor it is their job to spend the country’s money wisely and justify their choices to the nation with a Budget speech between 500-1000 words. You must be 14yrs+
