  • Your content needs to pack a punch and must stand out among all other entries.
  • It must be engaging, powerful, and cover both the seen and unseen aspects of the topic
  • Don’t be repetitive, don’t be run-of-the-mill. Make sure your content says what the world hasn’t heard (but needs to hear).

If you impress us with your writing, we might choose to publish your essay online with your name to credit you. You can syndicate it, if it’s published on our blog, but cannot publish it directly.

And this goes without saying….
 The decision of the judges will be final and will not be open to discussions.

So, good luck!
