Get your submissions ready!

 It’s that time again. Our annual history essay contest will begin accepting entries soon, and all Catholic students in grades 4-12 enrolled in private, parochial, or homeschool are invited to participate.

Click here to learn more about this year’s topics and submission guidelines. A full-detail flyer and entry forms are available for download. Note that students may submit multiple entries in their grade level. Not only is this contest an excellent way for your students to hone their writing skills, winners will earn prizes for themselves and their schools.

The contest officially opens on January 16, 2024. All submissions must be sent by midnight on April 5, 2024—a week later than usual because of the Easter holiday. Winners will be announced and published on our website on May 17, 2024. Good luck to all!
