The John Locke Essay Competition, A Platform for Global Young Thinkers
The John Locke Essay Competition was hosted in the United Kingdom by The John Locke Institute. This annual event invites young minds worldwide to showcase their intellectual prowess through the art of writing. Named after the influential 17th-century philosopher, the competition encourages students to engage with thought-provoking questions and craft compelling 2,000-word research papers on topics that align with their interests.
Spanning categories such as philosophy, politics, economics, history, and law, the competition offers participants the chance to explore complex ideas, develop critical thinking skills, and articulate well-structured arguments. Each essay undergoes rigorous evaluation, with only a small percentage of submissions shortlisted for a second review. Ultimately, the winners represent some of the brightest talents in academic writing.
Whether aspiring to build a career in academia or simply passionate about learning, the John Locke Essay Competition is a stepping stone to #DiscoverNewHorizons. It’s a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and the power of ideas to shape the world.
