What the John Locke Essay Competition is
The John Locke Institute Essay Competition invites students to write subject-based academic essays in fields such as philosophy, politics, economics, history, psychology, theology, and law. Essays are judged on argument, evidence, and originality within strict word limits.
Who should enter
High school and early college students comfortable with independent reading and academic argument. You choose one subject prompt and defend a thesis with sources.
What Actify produces: competition essay
A submission-ready essay and works-cited list within host word limits, after question selection, outlining, and two full draft cycles with line edits.
Timeline relative to the competition cycle
Students often run 6–10 weeks before the summer submission window, leaving buffer for revision after a first full draft.
Competition calendars change each season. Check the host organization’s official site for registration windows, submission deadlines, and eligibility rules before you commit to a timeline.
