"I will be interested in the winning Essay and to see some of the innovative ideas from the students. This would further augment what we are doing in partnership with other agencies to deal with this matter".

The launch which took place at the Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon saw other schools like Achimota School, Accra Girls Senior High School, and West Africa Senior High School attending.

The current champion, Augustina Yohunu Amanor from the Ghana Senior High School, Koforidua expressed her excitement at winning the ultimate prize in the 2021 edition and encouraged all students present to take advantage of the competition to participate.

Essay Writing Contests: The Ultimate List of 2024

Did you know that the very first recorded essay contest can be traced back to the early 16th century, initiated by none other than the renowned philosopher and essayist Michel de Montaigne? In 1580, Montaigne published his collection of essays titled 'Essais,' which not only marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of the essay as a literary form but also contained an implicit challenge to his readers. He encouraged them to engage with his ideas and respond by writing their own essays, essentially laying the groundwork for what we now recognize as essay contests.

Fast forward to the vibrant year of 2024, and this tradition of writing competitions has evolved into a global phenomenon, offering emerging writers from all walks of life a captivating platform to share their thoughts, emotions, and narratives with the world.

I’m running this competition as a thank you to the writing community which has done so much to support both my writing and my freelance work over the past few years. In September 2022, I was lucky enough to receive a DYCP grant from Arts Council England to fund paid research and writing time, and this competition feels like a small thing that I can do to pay forwards my good fortune. As such, the competition is free to enter and I hope it will be a welcoming space for all writers. The competition is open to all forms of narrative prose, be that flash fiction, short-short, vignette, haibun, hermit crab, prose poem or work that sits outside such labels.
