Terms and Conditions
Entries will be disqualified if they fail to meet any of the following requirements:
- The Competition is open to nationals or residents of all Commonwealth countries and territories. Note: Special dispensation applies to entrants from Hong Kong, Fiji and Zimbabwe who are entitled to enter the Competition.
- Entrants must select a Senior or Junior topic depending on their age on 1st May 2015. Please see flyer for age guidelines.
- Only one essay per entrant is allowed. Once an essay is submitted, students/teachers will not have the opportunity to revise it. Please carefully check and improve you writing before submitting the final copy, and also ensure that all supplementary information is filled in correctly (name, contact details, topic number, etc.)
- Entries must be written in English.
- Plagiarism: Every year a number of students are disqualified because they are suspected of plagiarism. Plagiarism is the 'use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author without authorisation and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author' (dictionary.com). If using existing writing material, do quote appropriately.
- The final copy submitted for the competition MUST be the entrant's own work, and cannot be unduly corrected or improved by another person. This does not rule out input or assistance from others. However, an entry will be disregarded if there is any suggestion of excessive external help.
- The maximum word counts are 1500 words for Senior entries and 750 words for Junior entries. These word limits apply to all topics and all formats (essay, poem, letter, etc). Exceeding the word count will result in automatic disqualification.
- Essays can only be uploaded in either word doc. or pdf format.
- All entries must be submitted before midnight (GMT) on 1st May 2015.
