Prizes
First, Second, and Third place prizes will be awarded in two age categories: thirteen through seventeen and eighteen through twenty-four (ages determined as of the entry deadline of December 1 of each contest year.
First Prize: $1,000
Second Prize: $400
Third Prize: $100
Honorable Mention winners will receive special certificates. If you cite a teacher, librarian, dean, or other educational adviser (with mailing address) as instrumental to your having entered an essay, and if you are a winner, that individual will be recognized with a special award of $50.
Procedures
Manuscripts should be under 2,500 words and must be word-processed or typed double-spaced. We regret that only hard copy will be accepted—no email or computer diskettes.
Each applicant may only submit one manuscript each year.
Provide your name, age, date of birth, address, phone number, e-mail address, and other contact information on the title page of your essay so that we can easily determine your age category and contact you if you are declared a winner.
Entries must be postmarked before December 1st of a given contest year and mailed to: The Humanist Essay Contest, 1777 T St, NW, Washington, DC 20009-7125
Unfortunately, no essays will be returned. The Humanist reserves the option of first publication of all entries until the contest winners have been announced in the spring of the next year. Winning essays will then become the sole property of the American Humanist Association, publisher of the Humanist, while all rights to non-winning essays will revert back to their authors.
Quality and freshness of content or approach will be among the criteria, and all decisions by the panel of judges will be final.
