<p>If I were to hypothetically win this award, would they send the essay out to all the colleges I applied to, or even just to my first-choice college? Would I somehow be disqualified from the competition if I used the essay for college applications?</p>
<p>I don’t see how it would be a problem. Reusing essays between colleges is encouraged so i think this would be alright. Plus it is your work. You own it.</p>
