Three prizes will be awarded to every school that submits a minimum of ten qualifying entries.

(2) Schools with fewer than ten students submitting essays.
They will have their essays merged with other schools in the same situation.

(3) Individuals of any age.
They will find their work displayed in a category called Unaffiliated and only if there are at least ten entries will their essays be judged for prizes, so if you enter this category make sure to encourage others to enter also.

Never will an essay be judged against more than 30 essays in any category.

All participants will receive certificates and their essays will be published online. A written request by a participant to be listed as anonymous will be honored.
