The Atkins Center for Ethics at Carlow University is pleased to announce its annual high school essay contest! The contest is open to all students enrolled in 11th or 12th grade. There are two categories for submissions: a traditional essay (800-1200 words) or poetry/spoken word (150-200 words) with a video recording. Cash prizes are awarded in both categories, with $1,500 for first place, $1,000 for second place, and $750 for third place. We believe that this year's prompt on discrimination or bias against students with disabilities is one that may generate interest among several disciplines.
