Essay Competition: Real Simple

The Fifth Annual Life Lessons Essay Contest

Find out how to enter Real Simple’s yearly contest.

If you could change one decision that you made in the past, what would it be? No, you can't go back in time, but here's the next best thing. Think of a decision that you regret—anything from a ridiculous choice of prom date to a serious lapse in judgment—and tell us what the mistake taught you about yourself.

Enter Real Simple's fifth annual Life Lessons Essay Contest and you could:

Have your essay published in Real Simple
Receive a prize of $3,000
Win round-trip tickets for two to New York City, hotel accommodations for two nights, tickets to a Broadway play, and a lunch with Real Simple editors

To enter, send your typed, double-spaced submission (1,500 words maximum, preferably in a Microsoft Word document) to:

 lifelessons(at)realsimple.com (replace (at) with @).
