Yixuan Wu '25 a Finalist in John Locke Institute Essay Competition

Yixuan Wu ’25 knew next to nothing about Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation a year ago.

To compound matters, English is a second language for Yixuan, a junior from the Shaanxi province of China.

And yet the Greenie was recently informed that he has been shortlisted for an award in the John Locke Institute’s Essay Competition. Of the 20,000 essays that were submitted, Yixuan is one of 100 finalists who have been invited to Oxford, England for a Sept. 16 awards dinner.

Yixuan learned about Martin Luther through Christ School’s World History course taught by William Ballenger. He could have chosen any topic for his five-page, 1,500-word essay and submitted it without any review by the faculty. The John Locke Institute later contacted Mr. Ballenger to confirm that Yixuan’s work was his own.

Michael wins high commendation in essay competition at oxford university.

Michael Li was thrilled to receive a high commendation for his economics essay in the John Locke Institute Essay Competition. Michael received his award from Martin Cox, Director of the John Locke Institute, at a gala dinner held at Oxford University. Michael did extremely well to be nominated as a finalist as his was one of a large number of entries received from no less than 101 different countries.

The John Locke Institute encourages young people to cultivate the characteristics that turn good students into great writers: independent thought, depth of knowledge, clear reasoning, critical analysis and persuasive style. Entering an essay in this competition gives students the chance to have their work assessed by experts. All of the essay prizes are judged by academics from the University of Oxford. Michael’s chosen section, Economics, was on ‘The Gender Pay Gap’.

He said: “I was very honoured to be invited to the Gala evening in Lady Margaret Hall to receive this prestigious award, especially as my dream is to study Economics & Management at Oxford when I leave Aldenham.”

The Ultimate Guide to the John Locke Essay Competition [Everything you need to know]

Humanities and social sciences students often lack the opportunities to compete at the global level and demonstrate their expertise. Competitions like ISEF, Science Talent Search, and MIT Think are generally reserved for students in fields like biology, physics, and chemistry.

At Lumiere, many of our talented non-STEM students, who have a flair for writing are looking for ways to flex their skills. In this piece, we’ll go over one such competition - the John Locke Essay Competition. If you’re interested in learning more about how we guide students to win essay contests like this, check out our main page .

What is the John Locke Essay Competition?

The essay competition is one of the various programs conducted by the John Locke Institute (JLI) every year apart from their summer and gap year courses. To understand the philosophy behind this competition, it’ll help if we take a quick detour to know more about the institute that conducts it.

Founded in 2011, JLI is an educational organization that runs summer and gap year courses in the humanities and social sciences for high school students. These courses are primarily taught by academics from Oxford and Princeton along with some other universities. The organization was founded by Martin Cox. Our Lumiere founder, Stephen, has met Martin and had a very positive experience. Martin clearly cares about academic rigor.

The institute's core belief is that the ability to evaluate the merit of information and develop articulate sound judgments is more important than merely consuming information. The essay competition is an extension of the institute - pushing students to reason through complex questions in seven subject areas namely Philosophy, Politics, Economics, History, Psychology, Theology, and Law​.

The organization also seems to have a strong record of admissions of alumni to the top colleges in the US and UK. For instance, between 2011 and 2022, over half of John Locke alumni have gone on to one of eight colleges: Chicago, Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale.

How prestigious is the John Locke Contest?

The John Locke Contest is a rigorous and selective writing competition in the social sciences and humanities. While it is not as selective as the Concord Review and has a much broader range of students who can receive prizes, it is still considered a highly competitive program.

Winning a John Locke essay contest will have clear benefits for you in your application process to universities and would reflect well on your application. On the other hand, a shortlist or a commendation might not have a huge impact given that it is awarded to many students (more on this later).

What is the eligibility for the contest?

Students, of any country, who are 18 years old or younger before the date of submission can submit. They also have a junior category for students who are fourteen years old, or younger, on the date of the submission deadline.

Who SHOULD consider this competition?

We recommend this competition for students who are interested in social sciences and humanities, in particular philosophy, politics, and economics. It is also a good fit for students who enjoy writing, want to dive deep into critical reasoning, and have some flair in their writing approach (more on that below).

While STEM students can of course compete, they will have to approach the topics through a social science lens. For example, in 2021, one of the prompts in the division of philosophy was, ‘Are there subjects about which we should not even ask questions?’ Here, students of biology can comfortably write about topics revolving around cloning, gene alteration, etc, however, they will have to make sure that they are able to ground this in the theoretical background of scientific ethics and ethical philosophy in general.

Additional logistics

Each essay should address only one of the questions in your chosen subject category, and must not exceed 2000 words (not counting diagrams, tables of data, footnotes, bibliography, or authorship declaration).

If you are using an in-text-based referencing format, such as APA, your in-text citations are included in the word limit.

You can submit as many essays as you want in any and all categories. (We recommend aiming for only one given how time-consuming it can be to come up with a single good-quality submission)

Important dates

Prompts for the 2023 competition will be released in January 2023. Your submission will be due around 6 months later in June. Shortlisted candidates will be notified in mid-July which will be followed by the final award ceremony in September.

How much does it cost to take part?

What do you win?

A scholarship that will offset the cost of attending a course at the JLI. The amount will vary between $2000 and $10,000 based on whether you are a grand prize winner (best essay across all categories) or a subject category winner. (JLI programs are steeply-priced and even getting a prize in your category would not cover the entire cost of your program. While the website does not mention the cost of the upcoming summer program, a different website mentions it to be 3,000 GBP or 3600 USD)

If you were shortlisted, most probably, you will also receive a commendation certificate and an invitation to attend an academic ceremony at Oxford. However, even here, you will have to foot the bill for attending the conference, which can be a significant one if you are an international student.

How do you submit your entry?

You submit your entry through the website portal that will show up once the prompts for the next competition are up in January! You have to submit your essay in pdf format where the title of the pdf attachment should read SURNAME, First Name, Category, and Question Number (e.g. POPHAM, Alexander, Psychology, Q2).

What are the essay prompts like?

We have three insights here.

Firstly, true to the spirit of the enlightenment thinker it is named after, most of the prompts have a philosophical bent and cover ethical, social, and political themes. In line with JLI’s general philosophy, they force you to think hard and deeply about the topics they cover. Consider a few examples to understand this better:

“Are you more moral than most people you know? How do you know? Should you strive to be more moral? Why or why not?” - Philosophy, 2021

“What are the most important economic effects - good and bad - of forced redistribution? How should this inform government policy?” - Economics, 2020

“Why did the Jesus of Nazareth reserve his strongest condemnation for the self-righteous?” - Theology, 2021

“Should we judge those from the past by the standards of today? How will historians in the future judge us?” - History, 2021

Secondly, at Lumiere, our analysis is that most of these prompts are ‘deceptively rigorous’ because the complexity of the topic reveals itself gradually. The topics do not give you a lot to work with and it is only when you delve deeper into one that you realize the extent to which you need to research/read more. In some of the topics, you are compelled to define the limits of the prompt yourself and in turn, the scope of your essay. This can be a challenging exercise. Allow me to illustrate this with an example of the 2019 philosophy prompt.

“Aristotelian virtue ethics achieved something of a resurgence in the twentieth century. Was this progress or retrogression?”

Here you are supposed to develop your own method for determining what exactly constitutes progress in ethical thought. This in turn involves familiarizing yourself with existing benchmarks of measurement and developing your own method if required. This is a significant intellectual exercise.

Finally, a lot of the topics are on issues of contemporary relevance and especially on issues that are contentious . For instance, in 2019, one of the prompts for economics was about the benefits and costs of immigration whereas the 2020 essay prompt for theology was about whether Islam is a religion of peace . As we explain later, your ‘opinion’ here can be as ‘outrageous’ as you want it to be as long as you are able to back it up with reasonable arguments. Remember, the JLI website clearly declares itself to be, ‘ not a safe space, but a courteous one ’.

How competitive is the JLI Essay Competition?

In 2021, the competition received 4000 entries from 101 countries. Given that there is only one prize winner from each category, this makes this a very competitive opportunity. However, because categories have a different number of applicants, some categories are more competitive than others. One strategy to win could be to focus on fields with fewer submissions like Theology.

There are also a relatively significant number of students who receive commendations called “high commendation.” In the psychology field, for example, about 80 students received a commendation in 2022. At the same time, keep in mind that the number of students shortlisted and invited to Oxford for an academic conference is fairly high and varies by subject. For instance, Theology had around 50 people shortlisted in 2021 whereas Economics had 238 . We, at Lumiere, estimate that approximately 10% of entries of each category make it to the shortlisting stage.

How will your essay be judged?

The essays will be judged on your understanding of the discipline, quality of argumentation and evidence, and writing style. Let’s look at excerpts from various winning essays to see what this looks like in practice.

Level of knowledge and understanding of the relevant material: Differentiating your essay from casual musing requires you to demonstrate knowledge of your discipline. One way to do that is by establishing familiarity with relevant literature and integrating it well into their essay. The winning essay of the 2020 Psychology Prize is a good example of how to do this: “People not only interpret facts in a self-serving way when it comes to their health and well-being; research also demonstrates that we engage in motivated reasoning if the facts challenge our personal beliefs, and essentially, our moral valuation and present understanding of the world. For example, Ditto and Liu showed a link between people’s assessment of facts and their moral convictions” By talking about motivated reasoning in the broader literature, the author can show they are well-versed in the important developments in the field.

Competent use of evidence: In your essay, there are different ways to use evidence effectively. One such way involves backing your argument with results from previous studies . The 2020 Third Place essay in economics shows us what this looks like in practice: “Moreover, this can even be extended to PTSD, where an investigation carried out by Italian doctor G. P. Fichera, led to the conclusion that 13% of the sampling units were likely to have this condition. Initiating economic analysis here, this illustrates that the cost of embarking on this unlawful activity, given the monumental repercussions if caught, is not equal to the costs to society...” The study by G.P. Fichera is used to strengthen the author’s claim on the social costs of crime and give it more weight.

Structure, writing style, and persuasive force: A good argument that is persuasive rarely involves merely backing your claim with good evidence and reasoning. Delivering it in an impactful way is also very important. Let’s see how the winner of the 2020 Law Prize does this: “Slavery still exists, but now it applies to women and its name in prostitution”, wrote Victor Hugo in Les Misérables. Hugo’s portrayal of Fantine under the archetype of a fallen woman forced into prostitution by the most unfortunate of circumstances cannot be more jarringly different from the empowerment-seeking sex workers seen today, highlighting the wide-ranging nuances associated with commercial sex and its implications on the women in the trade. Yet, would Hugo have supported a law prohibiting the selling of sex for the protection of Fantine’s rights?” The use of Victor Hugo in the first line of the essay gives it a literary flair and enhances the impact of the delivery of the argument. Similarly, the rhetorical question, in the end, adds to the literary dimension of the argument. Weaving literary and argumentative skills in a single essay is commendable and something that the institute also recognizes.

Quality of argumentation: Finally, the quality of your argument depends on capturing the various elements mentioned above seamlessly . The third place in theology (2020) does this elegantly while describing bin-Laden’s faulty and selective use of religious verses to commit violence: “He engages in the decontextualization and truncation of Qur'anic verses to manipulate and convince, which dissociates the fatwas from bonafide Islam. For example, in his 1996 fatwa, he quotes the Sword verse but deliberately omits the aforementioned half of the Ayat that calls for mercy. bin-Laden’s intention is not interpretive veracity, but the indoctrination of his followers.” The author’s claim is that bin-Laden lacks religious integrity and thus should not be taken seriously, especially given the content of his messages. To strengthen his argument, he uses actual incidents to dissect this display of faulty reasoning.

These excerpts are great examples of the kind of work you should keep in mind when writing your own draft.

6 Winning Tips from Lumiere

Focus on your essay structure and flow: If logic and argumentation are your guns in this competition, a smooth flow is your bullet. What does a smooth flow mean? It means that the reader should be able to follow your chain of reasoning with ease. This is especially true for essays that explore abstract themes. Let’s see this in detail with the example of a winning philosophy essay. “However, if society were the moral standard, an individual is subjected to circumstantial moral luck concerning whether the rules of the society are good or evil (e.g., 2019 Geneva vs. 1939 Munich). On the other hand, contracts cannot be the standard because people are ignorant of their being under a moral contractual obligation, when, unlike law, it is impossible to be under a contract without being aware. Thus, given the shortcomings of other alternatives, human virtue is the ideal moral norm.” To establish human virtue as the ideal norm, the author points out limitations in society and contracts, leaving out human virtue as the ideal one. Even if you are not familiar with philosophy, you might still be able to follow the reasoning here. This is a great example of the kind of clarity and logical coherence that you should strive for.

Ground your arguments in a solid theoretical framework : Your essay requires you to have well-developed arguments. However, these arguments need to be grounded in academic theory to give them substance and differentiate them from casual opinions. Let me illustrate this with an example of the essay that won second place in the politics category in 2020. “Normatively, the moral authority of governments can be justified on a purely associative basis: citizens have an inherent obligation to obey the state they were born into. As Dworkin argued, “Political association, like family or friendship and other forms of association more local and intimate, is itself pregnant of obligation” (Dworkin). Similar to a family unit where children owe duties to their parents by virtue of being born into that family regardless of their consent, citizens acquire obligations to obey political authority by virtue of being born into a state.” Here, the author is trying to make a point about the nature of political obligation. However, the core of his argument is not the strength of his own reasoning, but the ability to back his reasoning with prior literature. By quoting Dworkin, he includes important scholars of western political thought to give more weight to his arguments. It also displays thorough research on the part of the author to acquire the necessary intellectual tools to write this paper.

The methodology is more important than the conclusion: The 2020 history winners came to opposite conclusions in their essays on whether a strong state hampers or encourages economic growth. While one of them argued that political strength hinders growth when compared to laissez-faire, the other argues that the state is a prerequisite for economic growth . This reflects JLI’s commitment to your reasoning and substantiation instead of the ultimate opinion. The lesson: Don’t be afraid to be bold! Just make sure you are able to back it up.

Establish your framework well: A paragraph (or two) that is able to succinctly describe your methodology, core arguments, and the reasoning behind them displays academic sophistication. A case in point is the introduction of 2019’s Philosophy winner: “To answer the question, we need to construct a method that measures progress in philosophy. I seek to achieve this by asserting that, in philosophy, a certain degree of falsification is achievable. Utilizing philosophical inquiry and thought experiments, we can rationally assess the logical validity of theories and assign “true” and “false” status to philosophical thoughts. With this in mind, I propose to employ the fourth process of the Popperian model of progress…Utilizing these two conditions, I contend that Aristotelian virtue ethics was progress from Kantian ethics and utilitarianism.” Having a framework like this early on gives you a blueprint for what is in the essay and makes it easier for the reader to follow the reasoning. It also helps you as a writer since distilling down your core argument into a paragraph ensures that the first principles of your essay are well established.

Read essays of previous winners: Do this and you will start seeing some patterns in the winning essays. In economics, this might be the ability to present a multidimensional argument and substantiating it with data-backed research. In theology, this might be your critical analysis of religious texts .

Find a mentor: Philosophical logic and argumentation are rarely taught at the high school level. Guidance from an external mentor can fill this academic void by pointing out logical inconsistencies in your arguments and giving critical feedback on your essay. Another important benefit of having a mentor is that it will help you in understanding the heavy literature that is often a key part of the writing/research process in this competition. As we have already seen above, having a strong theoretical framework is crucial in this competition. A mentor can make this process smoother.

Suyeon Kim Awarded Commendation in John Locke Institute’s Global Essay Competition

St. Johnsbury Academy junior Suyeon Kim, of Jeju, South Korea, was recently awarded a Commendation in the Theology category of the John Locke Institute’s Global Essay Competition. Suyeon attended the commendation ceremony in London, England in late 2023.

The John Locke Institute’s website offers some background on the organization: “The John Locke Institute is an independent educational organization that works to embolden the best and brightest students to become more academically ambitious and more intellectually adventurous. Through our various programs – residential courses, revision seminars, essay competitions, and special events – we inspire students to aim high and we equip them with the skills they need in order to achieve their goals. The Institute is named in honor of the eminent seventeenth century Oxford philosopher, John Locke.” The John Locke Institute also offers competitive summer programs at Princeton University, Oxford University and in Washington, D.C. and Singapore.

In her essay, Suyeon responded to the question, “What distinguishes a small religion from a large cult?” She begins, “’Cult plus time, or people, is religion’. This is one of the worst and the most pervaded misconceptions about cults. Such an idea is often introduced by impactful media as if it were true. Is it?” Her essay goes on to consider many different aspects of cults, and ends, “As a whole, cults exist for one person, and religions exist for everyone. Cults may seem similar to religion on the outermost surface, but on the inside, everything is different. Even if it is as small as one advisory class, or even smaller, religions seek positive impacts from their gods on their believers whereas people being forcefully gathered to devote themselves to the human cult leader is the number one priority in cults.”

Jamie Whyte, Chairman of Examiners for the John Locke Institute, congratulated Suyeon on the Institute’s behalf: “It is my very great pleasure to congratulate you on being awarded a Commendation in the Theology category of the John Locke Institute’s 2023 Global Essay Competition. You can be proud of this achievement. I hope the experience of researching and writing this essay will confer on you lasting benefits.”

Formerly a student at St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju, St. Johnsbury Academy’s sister school in South Korea, Suyeon Kim began studying at St. Johnsbury Academy as part of the school’s exchange program. After spending a semester in St. Johnsbury, Suyeon decided to transfer permanently, and she now attends St. Johnsbury Academy as a boarding student.

Suyeon was honored to be recognized by this international organization. She said, “When I first got the email that I got into the finalist stage, I was just so happy. As soon as I started writing the essay, I knew that this would become my favorite essay of all time. To win an award for this big competition was, of course, important for me, but the genuine meaning of submitting this essay was to prove that my experiences made me braver and more mature. Now that I have been recognized by the John Locke Institute and from this publication, I feel so grateful to have this meaningful time in my high school. I want to especially thank Mr. Glenn Ehrean, who helped to review my works before the submission and who is also my first history teacher at St. Johnsbury Academy.”

Glenn Ehrean, Suyeon’s teacher and Director of the Academy’s Colwell Center for Global Understanding, said, “Suyeon was a student in my World Civilizations course. She is quiet, gracious, and wise beyond her years. She understands the iterative process of developing ideas and articulating them. It’s hard work, but she embraces it. It was an honor to review her essay. I was not surprised that it was recognized by the board of examiners.”

Headmaster Dr. Sharon Howell is also very proud of Suyeon’s accomplishment. She said, “This is a wonderful example of how good teaching and mentorship can help students achieve in powerful, life-changing ways. I’m grateful to all of Suyeon’s teachers and very proud of her.”

UM-Dearborn freshman scores a trip to Oxford for placing in prestigious competition

Syed akbari’s recent adventure in essay writing is all the reminder you need that it never hurts to try..

Many undergraduates pursue research or enter an essay competition at the urging of a faculty mentor. Eighteen-year-old freshman Syed Akbari entered the prestigious John Locke Institute Essay Competition because he Googled it.

“I think it was the second result that came up when I searched for ‘philosophy essay competition,’” he said, smiling. “The thing that kind of got me going was that when I was applying to colleges, one interviewer asked about what subjects I was ‘world class’ in. And I was honest: I said I’m not world class in anything, but there were subjects, like philosophy, that I’ve studied more than the average person. But then I realized I didn't have anything to back that up. And I thought if I won some kind of competition or award, that would be a cool thing to have.”

It’s worth mentioning that philosophy isn't even Akbari’s major (though he does intend to add it eventually as a second-major complement to his current one in data science ). It’s also worth noting that the John Locke Institute’s annual essay competition was the second result in Google for a reason: It’s a pretty big deal — it’s co-sponsored by Princeton and Oxford — and every year draws thousands of entries from students all over the world.

Akbari, however, wasn't aware of that and approached the contest with the casualness of dropping his name in a raffle. He browsed through the list of essay prompts, found one that resonated with him and picked a few books that he thought might help him from his personal summer reading list (everything from The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris to Life Laid Bare: The Survivors in Rwanda Speak ). And then five days before the competition, he wrote his essay on the topic of whether the practice of philosophy is still relevant. He laid out a precise, analytical argument for why it is.

Then he waited. In fact, he made a note of the date the institute would notify the winners; and when the date passed, he sent the committee an email. When the reply came a day or so later, he learned there were so many entries (from 102 countries) that the judging had been delayed.

“At that point, I thought, ‘Whoa, I have no chance.’ I assumed my best shot was if hardly anyone entered.”

But then a few more days passed, and he got another email.

“It started with ‘unfortunately,’ and I’d just been through the college application process so I knew anything that starts with ‘unfortunately’ isn't going to end well. So I just put down my phone,” he said. “But then a couple hours later, I picked it up and read the whole message. And it said unfortunately this year they received so many entries that it caused a delay. So I kept reading until I saw: ‘That’s why it makes your achievement so impressive.’”

Akbari had placed among the handful of finalists, which carried with it a multi-day stay at Oxford for the awards ceremony. The only hiccup was going to be scaring up the $1,000 for a plane ticket. A friend of his suggested that he might be able to get funding from the university, at which point Akbari simply started asking around — first emailing his dean in the College of Engineering and Computer Science ; then following a trail of suggestions from helpful people in College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters , which eventually led him to Philosophy Professor Maureen Linker.

“She was literally the last person I talked to and the first person who told me: ‘I’m going to fight for this. We’re going to find you the funding.’”

Then hours later, an email reply arrived from College of Engineering and Computer Science Dean Tony England’s office with a second vote of support. Between the two colleges and some additional funds from Dean of Students Amy Finley, they pulled together enough last-minute funding to cover Akbari's plane ticket.

“Oxford was so amazing. Everything felt like a castle. The dinners were lit with candlelight, and the food was crazy — there was caviar and salmon and lamb roast. We were all kind of laughing together about how extravagant it was.”

Akbari tied for fifth in the philosophy category. Don’t expect this to be his last fearless foray into competitions: He’s currently working on an entry for another essay contest, eyeing a poetry slam (another one of his interests) and making plans for an upcoming hackathon. The first time he did the latter, it was simply because a friend invited him.

“I was literally Googling, ‘What is a hackathon?’ on the way in the door,” he said. “But, if you see an opportunity, you should take your shot, right? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?”

And sometimes, when you just bother to try, some really good stuff can happen too.

Celebrating Academic Excellence: Bogdan’s Achievement as a Finalist in the John Locke University Essay Competition

August 5, 2024

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Bogdan, one of our talented students, has been named a finalist in the politics category of the prestigious John Locke University Essay Competition. This remarkable achievement showcases Bogdan’s dedication and talent, while also highlighting the strengths of online education platforms like Oxford Online School (OOS) and the support from Prestige School, a leading physical school in Kazakhstan. Together, these institutions provide a comprehensive learning experience that prepares students to succeed in an ever-changing world.

About Oxford Online School

As Oxford Online School celebrates its fourth anniversary, we take pride in delivering high-quality online education to students across the globe. Since our founding, we’ve been dedicated to offering a diverse range of courses tailored to meet the interests and academic needs of our students. Our mission is to provide a personalized and flexible learning environment, allowing students to study at their own pace with the support of our committed educators.

We offer various programs, including the online International GCSE, designed to prepare students for future studies and careers. Our curriculum blends innovative technology with expert teaching, helping students reach their full potential in a nurturing virtual setting. We cultivate a learning community where students are encouraged to explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Bogdan’s Academic Journey

Bogdan joined Oxford Online School in September 2023 to pursue the online International GCSE program. His journey in online education has been exceptional, proving that virtual schools can offer opportunities equal to, if not greater than, traditional schools. The flexible and personalized approach of online education has enabled Bogdan to excel academically, with predicted grades of 9 in his GCSEs.

Although Bogdan has primarily focused on STEM subjects, aiming to study engineering or computing at the university level, he chose to challenge himself by entering the politics division of the essay competition. This decision reflects Bogdan’s adventurous spirit and his desire to become a well-rounded student with knowledge across various fields. His willingness to step outside his comfort zone demonstrates his commitment to personal growth and academic excellence.

Balancing Dual Curricula

Bogdan is currently tackling two full-time curricula—Kazakh and British. Each curriculum offers unique skills, enhancing his ability to navigate diverse educational systems with ease. The Kazakh curriculum, taught at Prestige School, provides a solid foundation in culturally relevant subjects, while the British curriculum offers a global perspective and rigorous academic challenges. This dual focus is a testament to his strong motivation and commitment.

Balancing these demanding curricula requires discipline and time management, skills that Bogdan has mastered impressively. His success in both systems highlights his resilience and adaptability, traits that will serve him well in future academic and professional endeavors. Bogdan’s experience with both curricula also enriches his understanding of global issues, providing a well-rounded education that extends beyond textbooks.

The John Locke Essay Competition

The John Locke Essay Competition is an esteemed international event challenging students to engage with complex philosophical and political questions. Named after the renowned philosopher John Locke, the competition encourages young thinkers to sharpen their analytical and writing skills while exploring profound topics that shape our world. For students like Bogdan, participating in such competitions is an invaluable opportunity to expand their intellectual horizons and gain recognition for their efforts.

Bogdan’s preparation for the essay competition, which began in March 2024, was crucial to his success. During these sessions, Bogdan and other Oxford Online School students honed their essay writing skills, learning to express their thoughts and arguments effectively. The process involved studying various political theories, engaging in discussions with peers, and receiving feedback from experienced educators. This comprehensive approach helped Bogdan refine his ideas and present them persuasively.

Inspiration and Impact

Bogdan’s success not only marks a personal triumph but also inspires his peers to embrace challenges and broaden their horizons. His story highlights the potential of online schools to provide high-quality education, empowering students to pursue their passions and excel in diverse fields. Bogdan’s achievements demonstrate the effectiveness of online GCSE programs and underscore the benefits of virtual schooling, where students receive personalized attention and tailored educational experiences.

Through competitions like this, our school continually develops extracurricular activities to help online students make the most of their studies. We believe that participating in such events encourages students to think critically, collaborate, and develop essential skills for success in today’s world. By fostering an environment that values creativity and intellectual curiosity, we aim to nurture the next generation of leaders and innovators.

As our principal expressed, “We are thrilled that Bogdan has been selected as a finalist for the John Locke University Essay Competition. Bogdan is truly an inspirational student. We look forward to seeing more of our students showcase their abilities through this competition.”

Looking Ahead

We are incredibly proud of Bogdan and eagerly anticipate his continued success in his academic journey and beyond. His story is a testament to the power of online education and the bright future it offers students worldwide. As Bogdan prepares for the next steps in his academic career, we are confident he will continue to make a positive impact in his chosen field.

At Oxford Online School, we remain committed to providing exceptional education and support to all our students. As we celebrate our fourth year, we are excited to expand our offerings and enhance the learning experience for students around the world. Our mission is to empower students to reach their full potential, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a dynamic and interconnected world.

Hong Kong teen wins John Locke global essay writing competition

• Andre Chung Cheuk-hei won in the Institute’s junior category, wowing a panel of judges at the University of Oxford
• He credits his love of reading for his imagination and writing abilities

Hong Kong student Andre Chung Cheuk-hei won a global essay competition organised by the John Locke Institute, beating contestants from all over the world earlier this month.

The 14-year-old winner of the academic writing competition’s junior category was the only Hong Kong contestant among all the winners.

The annual competition invites students worldwide to explore a wide range of challenging and interesting questions beyond the confines of the school curriculum.

Of the seven essay questions provided this year, Andre picked one that asked where he would go if he could travel by time machine.

5 tips to writing an essay that deserves an A

“If you could travel by time machine for your next holiday, which time and place would you visit? What preparations would you make for your journey? What challenges would you face in the first twenty-four hours, and how would you handle them?” the question read.

His answer, which wowed a panel of scholars from Oxford University, was rather “original”, according to the judges.

In his essay of about 2000 words, the student went back to the 18th century to appreciate the opera Polifemo , calling it a high point of art and the creation of humankind.

The judges thought highly of his writing.

“This is a brilliant essay which chooses a highly original destination, and through its consideration of how to prepare for arrival in past times, serves up a rich description and analysis of the early 18th century,” said the examiners, who selected Andre’s essay as the winner in the final round of grading.

It was Andre’s first time submitting to the competition, and he was surprised he won.

“I thought there must have been a finer essayist than I who had submitted a finer essay than mine,” he said.

An avid reader, his love for writing came from his overflowing imagination, which he explains he built up through reading.

“Ideas, plotlines, and alternative histories are always flowing through my mind,” he said.

Winners of the junior category are awarded a scholarship worth US$2,000 towards the cost of attending any John Locke Institute programme, and Andre’s essay will be published on the Institute’s website.

Winners would also be able to network with scholars, judges and faculty members at the prize ceremony taking place in Oxford.

After receiving such recognition for his writing, Andre, despite still being in secondary school, has set his sights on studying literature at university.

How journaling can help relieve stress and foster creativity

“I feel that I should definitely learn at least French and Italian, the great languages of opera, if not Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish, and Russian, all of which remain beautiful tongues with tremendous literary traditions.”

He said the key to coming up with so many ideas and being creative is reading.

“Movies and television shows are good … but do not stop there: you must always read.”

Finalist in the 2023 John Locke Institute Global Essay Competition in Law

Sugyeong Hwang, our Grade 11 student, has been named a finalist in the Law category of the 2023 John Locke Institute Global Essay Competition.

The John Locke Essay Competition, named after the 17th century empiricist philosopher and father of liberalism, is organized by the John Locke Institute. This prestigious English-language essay competition is co-sponsored by the University of Oxford and Princeton University in the United States. This year's John Locke Institute Essay Competition received a record number of essays, and Sugyeong's essay was selected as one of the top five finalists after the first and second round of judging.

Her essay delved into the ongoing AI ethics debate by asking the question, "If submitting an AI-generated essay is against the rules of an essay contest, how is it different from a typical attempted theft?.” It discusses AI-generated essays using the main issues: the difference between contemplating and attempting, and whether the act is theft. The essay distinguishes between contemplating a crime and attempting it, arguing that contemplation without actual action does not constitute a crime, and that "it is not a legal offense to consider submitting an AI-generated essay without taking actual action."

The essay looks at the legal elements of theft and concludes that submitting an AI-generated essay is not theft. The essay delves into the complex issue of ownership, arguing that the author of the AI-generated essay is the legal owner and therefore the theft standard cannot be applied. This essay focuses on interpreting the John Locke Institute's regulations to define plagiarism, contractual misconduct, and the use of AI as a form of fraud. The essay's analysis links the use of AI to fraud, drawing parallels to the UK's 2006 Fraud Act.

Sugyeong's essay subtly explores the difference between submitting an AI-generated essay and attempted theft. As a finalist, Sugyeong's thought-provoking analysis contributes depth to the ongoing debate on AI ethics at academic conferences.

As a finalist, Sugyeong was invited to an award ceremony. Beginning with a dinner at the University of Oxford dining hall on the evening of the 15th, followed by an exclusive, invitation-only conference at Oxford Town Hall on September 16th, the event featured a series of lectures and seminars. These sessions were facilitated by professors from Oxford and Cambridge universities, each possessing specialized expertise in this year's essay question. Attendees also had the opportunity to meet Jamie Wight, Chair of the judging panel, and Robin Connor, Dean of the Faculty, along with Martin Cox, Director of the John Locke Institute. Unfortunately, Sugyeong regretfully was not able to attend due to prior school commitments.

We want to congratulate Sugyeong on this significant achievement and applaud her for all the hard work and dedication to academic excellence!

How was the 2023 John Locke essay competition?

The 2023 cycle of the John Locke essay competition just ended. For those who've participated, how did you do? What questions did you do? What was your essay about?

Personally, I thought some questions (HistQ3, TheoQ2 especially) were quite interesting. I wrote an essay on reasons behind the differing levels of political corruption between Malaysia and Singapore (where I am from). I felt it was a very rewarding experience researching about another country's history and politics I only had very superficial knowledge of, and in the process of writing getting an answer to a question that I've thought about for a very long time.

But please, share your experiences!
