Essay Competition for High School and College Students: 2015 Generation Faith Essay Contest

Calling all student writers!
Entry link.

America Media is proud to announce the 2015 Generation Faith Essay Contest.

America Media is seeking submissions from young writers for the first-ever Generation Faith Essay Contest. We want to hear from high school and college students interested in reflecting on the joys and challenges that come with living out (or struggling with) one's faith in the midst of real life. All entries should be true personal essays, between 800 and 1,200 words. The essays should feature strong narratives and real-life examples from the writer’s experience as a young person in the church today. Writers should think creatively and broadly about their faith experience.

The winning entry will be awarded $1000 and will be published in America. Additional entries may be chosen for publication in America. The judging panel will consist of the editors of America and The Jesuit Post.

To be eligible, you must be enrolled as a full-time high school or college student at the time of the contest deadline. Your submission must be previously unpublished (including on personal websites) and must be original work.

All entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on January 10.
