<p>What are some of America's premier essay/creative writing contests?</p>
<p>Are there any excellent economics contests as well? </p>
<p>Just two of my passions, so any info would be great!</p>
<p>I know theres a pretty big national ayn rand one, I dont know how prestigious it is.</p>
<p>PShap, the highschool essay contest deadline for Ayn Rand was almost two months ago!</p>
<p>It was in march for me (Anthem-9th/10th grade), I was required to do it for Classwork, hopefully I get some money. xD. jk.</p>
<p>Um, other than that...I've heard of the National peace essay Contest, JFK high school essay contest...</p>
<p>not sure how prestigious they are.

<p>I believe they're worth trying for if you are interested in them, and not just because of prestige (they seem to take quite a bit of research/effort and it would be boring as hell if you really didn't want to do it).</p>
<p>Creative Writing (sometimes essays, sometimes not):</p>
<p>The</a> Kenyon Review—Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize for Young Writers
English</a> Department | Writing Program
The</a> Scholastic Art & Writing Awards</p>
<p>Okay thanks, guys...I'll have a look at these and its because I'm interested in them. Not big on poetry and the sciences (but I have a linguistics project I like that I'm thinking about putting in for intel/siemens) but love the politics/maths (less then the others)/essay writing and economics...</p>
<p>Any for economics? I doubt it but you never know...</p>
<p>I love the National Peace one particularly, so I'm certainly registering for that and I'll register for the others for next year (too late for many :( unfortunately)</p>
<p>Btw, is the question for the Ayn Rand same every year?</p>
<p>the holocaust remembrance project is a rather large one, quite "prestigious" i guess</p>
