<p>I have a friend who won a major essay contest with one of his essays last year, and he's applying this year. Can he use this essay? It's an amazing, highly personal essay, and it is all of his own work. The rules for the contest do not specify....</p>
<p>so basically, you're asking us if your friend can apply again to the same contest (which we have no idea as to what it is) with the same essay?</p>
<p>I dunno</p>
<p>No...not really. He's wondering if he can use an essay he won this contest with for college applications. Sorry, I should have made that more clear. </p>
<p>Anyone have any idea? I know it seems odd.</p>

<p>I don't see a problem. An essay doesn't have to be disposable. If it's the best thing he's got, and if the contest wasn't affiliated with the schools he's applying to, it should be fine.</p>
