for what subject? as long as it's an official college one they'd all be reputable, the fitzwilliam one is good if you're interested in humanities for example, caius is a popular one which does all subjects. that's perfectly fine if you want to put it on your personal statement whether you win or not, for example one of my friends talked about an essay competition that she didn't win for medicine and she got a place, it's just for you to show your academic abilities and if you win that's a bonus, but it's not necessary, lmk if you have other questions about doing an essay competition
