Hey budding writers and social commentators everywhere.
Welcome to the Student Edge writing challenge, where you’re invited to write on a topic nominated by us.
You have one week to submit your entry and the winning story will be published in our Student Edge Mag section and win you a $50 gift card from Westfield.
Keep it smart, keep it clean and most of all, keep it under three minutes reading time.
Here's a TIP: One line answers don't tend to make for an entertaining article (this isn't one of those 25 words or less competitions) so put your thinking caps on and write something you think others will find interesting.
Check out our guide to winning the writing challenge for some dos and don'ts.
Your latest writing challenge is:
Who Is Australia's Best Working Sportsperson and Why?
The Matildas just had an impressive run at the Women's World Cup. The State of Origin wraps up this week. The AFL season is chugging along. Thinking of all the players in these sports, and many others, tell us: who is the best Australian sportsperson competing today?

As far as trophy-laden years go, Laura Geitz's 2015 was tough to beat.
