An Essay prize can be great opportunity to push yourself further and pit yourself against students from all over the country. There are many on offer and I will be posting more in the weeks to come.

The first is from St Peter's College, Oxford (@SPC_Oxford) The aim of the prize is to provide for students in Year 12 with an opportunity to write about a philosophical issue and so, it is hoped, enable you to develop your abilities for independent research and thought.


Entrants must be in Year 12 during the academic year 2014-15. Essays must be a maximum of 2000 words in length and must be submitted in hardcopy. Essays must seek to answer one of the questions set for the year (see below) and should contain the full name of the author on the first page. Accompanying the essay entrants must submit a completed entry form, which can be downloaded here. Submissions should be sent to Alison Wiblin, Fellow’ Secretary, St Peter’s College, Oxford, OX1 2DL, to arrive by 11th September 2015.

Questions for the 2015 competition:

1) Will being dead be bad for you?

2) Is there any reason to believe that there are things about which science cannot tell us’?



All the details can be found here along with most of the information I have given above.

Good luck!
