Submissions are invited for Pivotal Essay Contest 2023 for School Students by Open Philanthropy. The last date of submission is October 17, 2023.
Open Philanthropy is a philanthropic funder. Their mission is to help others as much as they can with the resources available to them. The main funders are Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz, a co-founder of Facebook and Asana.
Pivotal is an essay competition for high school students with world-class judges and no entry fee.
The essay contest provides an avenue for high school students to explore these important challenges, and strive for novel answers. More than ever, the world needs thoughtful, critical thinkers. But, more than this, they want to create a genuine sense of compassion and hope for what humanity might be able to achieve.
The mission is to empower the next generation, through fostering relentless inquiry and uncompromising originality, to shape the vast number of future generations to come.
You should write an essay between 1000 and 2000 words. They are less concerned about the length so much as the depth and originality of the content.
As long as you have not yet attended university, and are between the ages of 13-19 at the time of the deadline you can participate.
They will award prizes worth a total of $25,000 for the top three entrants, along with access to the Pivotal Library for the top 50 finalists.
Interested participants can submit online via this link.
The last date of submission is October 17, 2023.
