John Locke Essay Competition 2023

Hey, did anyone submit an essay to the John Locke Institute Essay Comp this year? I did a law question.

Has anyone received any insight about Distinction/High Distinction awards and e-Certificates for those who didn't attend the event? For Distinction (in the past, "High Commendation") doesn't seem like the names will be publicly displayed on the website as it used to, but I would hope/assume they would be sent somehow for those that didn't attend.

Does anyone knows where is the link to download your eCertificate if you were shortlisted?

I just got an email regarding my prize (no e-certificate).

Dear Kayson,

Two weeks ago my colleagues and I had the pleasure of hosting a ceremony in the University of Oxford's Sheldonian Theatre. Nearly eight hundred guests - shortlisted contestants and their families and supporters - heard a speech from our Guest of Honour, Professor Panos Kanelos; and our Director, Martin Cox, announced the category winners and runners up, and the overall winner of the Grand Prize of the John Locke Institute's 2023 Global Essay Competition. You can see their names here: https://www.johnlockeinstitute.com/prize-winners. Later this month, we will publish the prize-winning essays; I hope you will enjoy reading them as much as I did.

It is my very great pleasure to congratulate you on being awarded a Second Prize in the Law category of the John Locke Institute's 2023 Global Essay Competition. You can be proud of this achievement. I hope the experience of researching and writing this essay will confer on you lasting benefits.

If you continue to meet the age eligibility, I hope you will enter the competition again next year. In any case, on behalf of the John Locke Institute, I wish you well in your future intellectual and academic endeavours.

Yours sincerely,
Jamie Whyte
Chairman of Examiners
