The John Locke Essay Competition is a fantastic opportunity for gifted young people to stretch their academic muscle and learn how to construct a create a coherent essay. Every year, the John Locke Institute release a series of essay titles on themes relating to each of seven subject categories - Philosophy, Politics, Economics, History, Psychology, Theology and Law - which students can choose from. A winner is chosen from each of the subjects and there is also a grand prize winner.  There is also a separate prize awarded for the best essay in the junior category, for under 15s.

The John Locke Essay Competition is hugely prestigious and looks brilliant on university applications. I'm thrilled to be able to help students find out more about this great opportunity.
