can anyone let me know any essay competition for Oxford university application?

as the title plzz

Wow, Kim you are asking a lot of questions, aren't you?

Oxford, for some reason, don't do many essay competitions.

For this you need to go to Cambridge:

This is the Newnham essay prize page

https://www.newn.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduates/newnham-essay-prizes/

Only female year 12 students can enter. Also the deadline is over. However you are in year 11?

It's important here to look at the kind of format the question comes in and you can actually read the winning entries so you can see the standard.

Here is a list:

Hmmm - the mindsunderground page sounds like it might break the rules of an essay prize as it says it provides mentors to support your writing process - it is supposed to be all your own work. I actually run an essay prize and I would consider using an outside ‘mentor’ to write the essay as a bit of a cheat depending on how far the ‘mentoring’ goes really.

Some oxford essay prizes for classics and history, and another modern history one judged by a cambridge professor.
