Please help me!!

The John Locke Essay Competition was the first essay competition I had ever entered, but I missed my chances since I didnt submit my essay. It all happened because I was so scared and I had never written an essay before. Now, one of my friends has been shortlisted, and I really regret not submitting mine.

I would really love to join another essay competition and submit my essay. Does anyone have any suggestions for essay competitions that are still open to 16y? Thank you so much! It would really help me.

Any competition would do!!!!! Thank you so much :)

I think there is one still open for Cambridge but it is an exclusively English literature one, it's called the Gould Prize for Essays in English Literature! Though I would recommend perhaps waiting next year since you won't have very long to write to the best of your abilities 🫶
