The Dukes Essay Prize 2022 is now open
The Dukes Education Essay Prize 2022 is open for submissions. The prize is a creative challenge for all students in Years 11 and 12, inspired by the past entrance test to All Souls College, Oxford. Pick a one-word title, write an essay on it, and win up to £500.
Students can choose from a selection of six different one-word prompts and write an essay with their chosen title. They are free to discuss the title from any subject perspective, which encourages creativity, lateral thinking, and the opportunity to explore a topic beyond the curriculum.
The prize last ran in 2020 and received more than 600 submissions from 157 different schools. A panel of experts, including Oxbridge tutors, the heads of the Dukes Education Consultancy, and a member of the Dukes Education Advisory Board, read through every submission in an anonymous judging process. The top three 2020 winners were from the Royal Latin School in Buckinghamshire, Alleyn’s School in London and Fettes College in Edinburgh.
The deadline for this year is 4pm 1st June 2022. Submit your essay by then to dukeseducation.com/essay-prize and good luck!
