<p>What are the most prestigious (or lucrative) essay writing contests?</p>
<p>National Peace Essay and the Ayn Rand one are the only ones i can pull off the top of my head.</p>

<p>I would say that only the National Peace Essay has a significant factor in college admissions. </p>
<p>If you are searching for scholarships there are plenty. Look them up on fastweb.</p>
<p>Scholastic Writing Awards are pretty up there.</p>
<p>I saw there are so many contests in here: [Find</a> Writing Contests, Poetry Contests & Grants | Poets & Writers](<a href=“Writing Contests, Grants & Awards July/August 2023 | Poets & Writers”>Writing Contests, Grants & Awards July/August 2023 | Poets & Writers)</p>
<p>But I only heard high school students go the writing contests like: NCTE, Scholastic Art and Writing, Ayn Rand, etc. Why no one attends the contests in ‘Poet & Writers’? Are these writing contests for adults?</p>
<p>The Ayn Rand one is really difficult and lucrative . Her books are really good, and really intellectual challenging.</p>
