The Commonwealth Essay Competition 2020

The Commonwealth Essay Competition 2020This year's Commonwealth essay competition is again to be held in Aberdeen. It seems only fitting that it should be done at the same venue as in years past, and once again I have been surprised by how good the Scottish writing can be. Last year it was unbelievable; this year there were some superb essays of a high standard.It has never been the case that only people from Scotland have ever won the top prize. You will see Scottish people competing and their voices are everywhere. The competition is now open to students from any country. So, even if you have only been studying English for a few weeks or maybe just a few months you can still enter.This year there has been a massive response from students from all over the world. The number of submissions has been too great to check it all, but some of the countries taking part include Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Iceland, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Po rtugal, Italy, France, and Argentina. Students from around the world are included and so this is a global competition.Each year the Commonwealth essay competition becomes more international. For the first time this year a member of an African nation has won the top prize. Her name is Miss Ghanaia Merbah Ondi and she lives in Cape Town, South Africa.I do not want to claim her as an African winner, but since she did win the award she is definitely listed here. If you look on her entry page, you will find out that she has two essays ready to be submitted.A call for African writers to submit essays is now made available to all the countries that participate in the Commonwealth essay competition. If you are interested in being part of this international community there is a form available online where you can fill out and send to the organizers.The judges for the Commonwealth competition are from all over the world. They range from students from Harvard, Oxford, Yale, Cambridge, Edinburg h, Sydney, Brasov, Wroclaw, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester and Victoria to teachers, journalists, academics, journalists, librarians, editors, lawyers, publicists, politicians, business managers, businesswomen, psychotherapists, psychologists, doctors, art experts, art therapists, mediators, story tellers, lawyers, and many others. The judges have been carefully chosen, selected and graded for excellence.It is hoped that this year the Commonwealth essay competition will be much bigger and better than ever before. The organizers are very pleased with the response from last year's entrants and are expecting a great turnout for this year's event.
