Hi,
I just got an email saying I was a finalist & an invite to the event. Do I have to go in order to get my certificate or will this be emailed to me? Just asking as I live quite far away & this would be difficult for me.
Thank you :smile:

If you cannot attend the event you will be sent a certificate. :smile:

@NU London can you possibly clarify- are winners selected from those who have been told they are finalists and invited to the event or if you are a finalist does that mean you are not a winner?

If you are a finalist you are not a winner, but you have done incredibly well and are in the top 20% of entries.

Hi there,

Well done on being awarded the final status as Finalist in our competition! You did incredibly well to be ranked as a Finalist. If you are unable to make the event then we completely understand, everyone will receive a digital certificate by the end of April if you cannot make the event date. We hope you celebrate your achievements with us and enjoyed writing your essay and entering out competition.

Best wishes,
The Essay Competition Team

Hi @NuLondon, I received an email stating in the heading that I was a finalist but in the actual email it says I am a subject prize winner. Does this mean that I won for my category ? Thank you

NUL may i confirm if my classmate (who’s also a finalist) can come to the event and take my certificate and medal instead of me?

No. Everybody does not get highly commended. I believe that the email sent to highly commended students explained that they are in the top 30%.

Just want to ask when e-certificates are given for those who couldn’t physically come to the awarding in London? Because I still haven’t gotten mine as a finalist
