The Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition
The Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition is the world's oldest international writing competition for schools, established in 1883.
Each year, young people are asked to write on a theme that explores the Commonwealth’s values and principles, fostering an empathetic and open-minded world view in the next generation of Commonwealth leaders. Recent themes have focused on the environment, inclusion, the role of youth leadership, and gender equality. Annually, winners are invited to travel to the United Kingdom for a week of educational and cultural activities, which culminates in a special Awards Ceremony, usually held at Buckingham Palace, that is hosted by the Society’s Vice-Patron, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall.
This year, the competition will launch during Commonwealth Week on 15 March 2022 and will close on 30 June 2022. If you are interested in entering please follow this link for more details.
