Every year, we hold an essay contest to give your students an opportunity to express themselves and win great prizes. This year, we’re giving away over $12,000. And we have prizes for teachers, too!
Students have four topics to choose from, allowing them to write on the subject that speaks to them the most.
Our contest is open to students in grades 5-12, age 10-18, residing in North America, Hawaii, or at a U.S. military address. The deadline to submit is 11:59PM Eastern on Friday, March 22, 2024. Students may submit their essays to us directly, or have them submitted by a teacher or parent.
Teachers and students may choose from any one of these four topics. Find the one that suits your class best, or let your students decide for themselves.
- The Housing Shortage: Causes, Solutions, and the Role of Government
- Ticket Dynamics: Unveiling the Economics of Concert Tours
- My Vision for 2024: Presidential Campaign Priorities
- The Path Forward: Evaluating U.S. Energy Policy
Eligibility – The contest is open to writers in grades 5-12, (ages 10-18) at some point during the contest period September 14, 2023-March 22, 2024. No more than one submission will be accepted for each essay writer. Writers must be located in North America, Hawaii, or a U.S. military address, and all submissions should be in English.
