Hi @yum123 ,

I am not currently aware of any competitions in this area. I would recommend asking teachers at school in these subjects as sometimes they might know of some or be able to direct you to where you can find them.

It is not specifically an essay competition exactly, but Give a Grad a Go do quarterly competitions that I would recommend checking out. I recently won one of them so it is definitely not a scam! The link is here for more information - https://giveagradago.com/resources/blog/introducing-our-student-guest-blog-programme/. It would demonstrate that you can write in a style that is easy to read and understand on a topic that a lot of people are interested in.

I am sorry I could not help more. Good luck and all the best!
