Saat ini banyak sekali perlombaan di bidang penulisan yang diadakan oleh berbagai institusi dan bisa kamu temukan di media sosial, salah satunya yaitu lomba menulis esai. Menulis esai untuk lomba tentunya tidak mudah, memerlukan waktu yang cukup lama mulai dari memilih topik, riset, mengemukakan gagasan hingga menumpahkannya ke dalam esai secara utuh.

Selain untuk dilombakan, esai juga biasanya digunakan untuk keperluan dalam mengerjakan tugas sekolah maupun kuliah, pengajuan beasiswa pendidikan hingga melamar pekerjaan. Dalam menulis esai juga tidak sekaku karya tulis ilmiah, tetapi juga tidak seluwes dan sesederhana artikel populer.

Nah, pada artikel ini akan kami suguhkan sembilan tips menulis esai untuk lomba agar meningkatkan potensimu untuk menang. Yuk, simak informasinya berikut ini!

Apa Itu Esai?

Esai merupakan jenis karya tulis nonfiksi yang berbentuk prosa. Esai berisi pandangan atau sudut pandang pribadi penulis mengenai topik permasalahan yang dibahas dengan menyertakan fakta, data atau bukti yang kuat untuk mendukung argumen penulis.

9 Tips Menulis Esai untuk Lomba

Berikut ini sembilan tips yang bisa kamu lakukan untuk meningkatkan peluangmu menjadi juara dalam lomba menulis esai:

1. Membaca contoh esai pemenang sebelumnya

Tips pertama agar meningkatkan peluangmu menang dalam menulis esai untuk lomba, kamu bisa membaca contoh esai yang pernah memenangkan perlombaan. Dengan membacanya, kamu bisa mengetahui dan mempelajari seperti apa penulisannya dan bagaimana gagasan-gagasan dalam esai tersebut dikembangkan menjadi esai yang utuh.

Kamu pun bisa melakukan teknik amati, tiru dan modifikasi dari esai pemenang. Kamu juga bisa mengembangkan gagasanmu untuk menyempurnakan gagasan yang pernah ada mengenai topik yang kamu bahas. Akan tetapi, jangan sampai kamu melakukan plagiat, ya.

2. Kenali pihak penyelenggara

Mengenali pihak penyelenggara maupun juri akan membantumu untuk menulis esai yang sesuai dengan kriteria atau selera mereka. Ketahuilah penyelenggara bergerak di bidang apa, apa visi misinya dan lain-lain. Dengan begitu, kamu bisa menciptakan gagasan-gagasan yang sejalan dengan penyelenggara dan esaimu pun akan lebih berpotensi untuk menang.

3. Perhatikan ketentuan lomba

Berikutnya, perhatikanlah ketentuan lomba agar potensimu menang dalam menulis esai untuk lomba lebih besar. Perhatikan setiap detail ketentuan seperti tema dan format penulisan yang penyelenggara tetapkan.

Membuat esai sesuai dengan tema yang diberikan menjadi penilaian penting karena menentukan benar tidaknya isi esaimu secara menyeluruh. Selain itu, patuhi juga format penulisan yang berlaku agar esaimu tidak didiskualifikasi.

Akan sangat sayang sekali bukan jika kamu sudah menulis esai yang bagus tetapi dari segi format penulisan seperti jumlah kata, font , jumlah halaman dan lain-lainnya masih tidak sesuai ketentuan? Nah, maka dari itu jangan sepelekan format penulisan esai, ya.

4. Angkat topik atau isu yang menarik

Untuk menarik perhatian juri atau penyelenggara, dalam menulis esai untuk lomba kamu juga perlu mengangkat topik atau isu yang menarik. Angkatlah isu terkini yang sedang menjadi perbincangan publik maupun isu yang jarang menjadi pembahasan tetapi penting untuk diselesaikan.

Untuk mengetahuinya, kamu bisa melakukan studi literatur dengan membaca berbagai referensi seperti jurnal, karya ilmiah, artikel, buku dan referensi lainnya terkait topik yang ingin kamu bahas.

5. Terapkan metode SMART

Selanjutnya, terapkanlah metode SMART untuk meningkatkan peluangmu menang dalam lomba menulis esai. Nah, apa itu metode SMART? Metode SMART merupakan singkatan dari lima elemen berikut:

  • Specific (spesifik) : Buatlah gagasan yang mendetail, jelas dan spesifik
  • Measurable (terukur) : Buatlah gagasan-gagasan yang terukur mengenai topik yang menjadi pembahasan
  • Achievable (dapat dicapai) : Buatlah gagasan-gagasan yang dapat diraih, realistis atau masuk akal dan dapat diaplikasikan
  • Relevant (relevan) :  Gagasan yang diajukan relevan dengan kondisi saat ini
  • Time bound : Gagasan atau ide disusun berdasarkan jangka waktu tertentu untuk mencapainya

6. Buat judul yang menarik

Dalam dunia penulisan, ungkapan don’t judge book by its cover nampaknya tidak berlaku. Sebab, judul atau sampul buku menjadi penilaian yang krusial bagi para pembaca ketika hendak membaca sebuah buku atau tulisan. Termasuk dalam hal ini ketika menulis esai, kamu perlu membuat judul yang menarik atau eye catching sehingga meningkatkan rasa penasaran dan minat pembaca untuk membaca karyamu.

7. Menulis esai untuk lomba jauh-jauh hari

Menulislah jauh-jauh hari dengan membuat draft terlebih dahulu agar kamu memiliki lebih banyak waktu untuk menemukan kesalahan-kesalahan yang ada di dalam esaimu. Selain itu, membuat draft tulisan juga akan memudahkanmu dalam mengembangkan gagasan dan memungkinkanmu untuk mengeksplor lebih luas ide, topik atau gagasan yang ingin kamu kemukakan.

8. Meminta feedback

Selanjutnya, mintalah feedback atau timbal balik dari orang-orang terdekatmu atau orang yang ahli di bidang yang kamu tulis. Meminta feedback bertujuan untuk menilai esaimu apakah sudah baik di mata orang lain dan  juga mengetahui sisi kekurangannya sehingga bisa kamu lakukan perbaikan segera sebelum mengirimnya.

9. Teliti dalam menulis esai untuk lomba

Dari keseluruhan tips, sangat penting juga bagimu agar teliti dalam menulis esai untuk lomba. Bacalah kembali esaimu secara keseluruhan sebelum kamu serahkan ke pihak penyelenggara. Perhatikan setiap detail penulisan mulai dari ejaan, tata bahasa maupun kepaduan makna dalam setiap kalimat, hingga kevalidan data dan informasi yang kamu sampaikan untuk menghindari kesalahan.

Demikianlah sembilan tips dalam menulis esai untuk lomba. Mengikuti perlombaan menulis memang menguras waktu, energi dan pikiran. Sebab, selain perlu mencari ide atau topik permasalahan, riset materi dan menuangkan gagasan ke dalam tulisan, kamu juga harus mengikuti serangkaian aturan dalam lomba tersebut. Untuk itu, yuk tingkatkan peluang kemenanganmu dengan mengikuti tips-tips di atas!

Ikut Lomba Menulis Esai? Kenalan Dulu dengan 5 Jenis Esai!

Ikut Lomba Menulis Esai? Kenalan Dulu dengan 5 Jenis Esai!

Ketika mengikuti lomba menulis esai, terlebih dahulu kamu perlu paham apa itu esai dan juga jenis-jenisnya. Jangan sampai ketika kamu mengikuti lomba menulis esai narative personal tapi justru menulis esai yang berbentuk opini.  Dengan memahaminya maka waktu yang kamu gunakan untuk menulis tidak terbuang sia-sia, dan peluang memenangkan lomba menulis semakin besar.

Pada artikel kali ini kita akan membahas mengenai definisi esai, jenis, dan struktur umumnya.

Definisi Esai

Definisi esai menurut KBBI adalah karangan prosa yang membahas suatu masalah secara sepintas lalu dari sudut pandang pribadi penulisnya. Karangan sendiri artinya adalah hasil dari kegiatan seseorang dalam mengungkapkan gagasan yang disajikan melalui bahasa tulis.  Sementara prosa adalah tulisan yang berbentuk bebas dalam artian tidak terikat oleh rima, irama, dan diksi.

  • 7 Trik Menang Lomba Menulis Opini: Keberhasilan…
  • 11 Tips Mengikuti Lomba Menulis Cerita Anak, Auto Juara!
  • 8 Tips Menang Lomba Menulis Cerpen untuk Pemula

Jadi, esai adalah gagasan yang dikemas dalam bentuk tulisan di mana  tidak terikat oleh rima, irama, dan diksi yang membahas suatu masalah secara sepintas dari sudut pandang pribadi penulisnya. Jika kamu mengikuti lomba menulis esai, pastikan kamu mempunyai gagasan yang sesuai dengan tema yang diangkat oleh penyelenggara.

Gagasan yang dimaksud ini dapat berupa tanggapan, pikiran, renungan, komentar atas berbagai kejadian, kutipan-kutipan atau ucapan orang yang semuanya bersifat subjektif.  Lalu apa saja jenis-jenis esai? Kita akan membahasnya pada artikel ini, silakan menyimak dan semoga bermanfaat!

Lima Jenis Esai

Berikut ini adalah uraian dari lima jenis esai.

1. Esai Eksplanasi

Eksplanasi dalam KBBI artinya adalah penjelasan. Esai jenis ini tidak ada opini atau argumentasinya jadi bersifat netral. Hanya sekedar menyampaikan penjelasan tentang topik tertentu dan membuat poin yang jelas dan faktual. Faktual artinya bahwa jenis esai ini memaparkan kebenaran tentang topik yang dipilih.

Umumnya jenis esai ini memiliki struktur:

  • Pendahuluan, berupa perkenalan topik dan menjelaskan dengan tepat apa yang akan dibahas di esai.
  • Tubuh, berupa penjelasan topik yang lebih mendalam dengan bukti, dan pengungkapan kebenaran.
  • Kesimpulan, berupa ringkasan informasi.

2. Esai argumentatif

Esai jenis ini mengandalkan fakta daripada emosi untuk mempengaruhi pembaca. Fakta tersebut bisa diambil dari survei, penelitian literatur, wawancara atau observasi. Melalui fakta yang didapat penulis akan membangun argumennya yang persuasif.

Melansir  Your Dictionary,  esai argumentatif yang kuat menggunakan perangkat retoris untuk memperkuat argumennya, dan juga membahas argumen yang berlawanan. Contoh esai jenis ini bisa kamu lihat di sini .

  • Pembukaan, berupa perkenalan dan klaim penulis dalam pernyataan tesis
  • Tubuh, berupa bagaimana argumentasi penulis yang didukung dengan bukti jadi ada penyajian fakta dan bukti.
  • Kesimpulan, berupa pernyataan kembali klaim dan rangkuman bagaimana penulis membuktikan argumennya.

3. Esai persuasif

Esai jenis ini biasanya berusaha mengajak pembaca untuk untuk memiliki pendapat tertentu menggunakan fakta dan daya tarik emosional.  Pendapat atau opini yang kamu miliki harus menjadi fokus. Jenis esai ini merupakan salah satu jenis esai yang banyak ditemui di lomba menulis esai.

  • Pendahuluan, pada bagian ini manfaatkan emosi untuk membuat pembaca tertarik dengan pendapatmu.
  • Tubuh, biasanya terdapat anekdot pribadi, bahasa yang dramatis, dan daya tarik emosional untuk membuat pembaca setuju atau berpihak dengan pendapatmu.
  • Kesimpulan, berupa ajakan kepada pembaca tentang apa yang seharusnya mereka lakukan.

4. Esai deskriptif

Esai jenis ini biasanya fokus menggambarkan/mendeskripsikan objek tertentu daripada memaparkan keseluruhan elemen dari objek tersebut. Dalam menggambarkan objek tersebut akan mengujimu untuk menggunakan bahasa yang kreatif, membuat pilihan kata yang mencolok agar gambaran yang kamu buat lebih mudah diingat.

Selain mudah diingat, esai deskripsi yang kamu buat sebaiknya juga mampu membuat pembaca merasa terlibat dan terhubung dengan esai dan objek yang kamu deskripsikan. Maka dari itu ketika menuliskannya gunakan banyak detail sensori untuk mendeskripsikan penampilan, suara, bau, dan rasa.

  •  Pendahuluan, berupa perkenalan topik yang kamu deskripsikan dengan kalimat yang menarik.
  • Tubuh, berupa penjelasan dengan detail sensori dan bahasa kiasan.
  • Kesimpulan, berupa ringkasan esai dan diakhiri dengan kalimat deskripsi yang mudah diingat.

5. Esai naratif

Kepiawaian dalam membangun narasi yang menarik dan terstruktur merupakan kemampuan yang diuji pada esai jenis ini. Esai ini mirip dengan sebuah cerita di mana harus terdiri dari pengantar, karakter, alur, latar, klimaks, dan kesimpulan.

Esai jenis ini biasanya menceritakan kisah kehidupan orang lain dan bisa juga kisah pribadimu atau yang biasa disebut esai naratif personal . Karangan naratif berkisah tentang orang lain biasanya menggunakan sudut pandang orang ketiga. Sedangkan naratif personal menggunakan sudut padang orang pertama.

Melansir Editors For Students, perbedaan utama antara esai personal dan naratif adalah bahwa esai personal meminta kamu sebagai penulis untuk menjelaskan apa yang telah diajarkan pengalaman kepadamu tentang dirimu sendiri. Sebaliknya, esai naratif menekankan apa yang telah diajarkan pengalaman kepada penulis tentang suatu masalah, atau tentang dunia dan orang lain.

  • Pendahuluan, berupa petunjuk tentang apa yang karakter pelajari
  • Isi, berupa cerita kisah dari awal hingga akhir, adanya klimaks yang menarik di paragraf akhir dari bagian isi.
  • Kesimpulan, berupa renungan apa yang karakter pelajari dari pengalaman dalam cerita.

Nah itu dia pemaparan dari lima jenis esai. Ketika kamu mengikuti lomba menulis esai, pastikan untuk kamu paham esai jenis apa yang diperlombakan ya! Agar kesempatan untuk memenangkannya semakin besar.

Cara dan Panduan Penulisan Esai yang Rapi dan Terstruktur

Agar format essay rapi dan terstruktur, ada 3 tips yang perlu diketahui terkait cara dan panduan penulisan esai. Berikut ini penjelasannya.

tirto.id - Format essay mesti rapi dan terstruktur. Cara dan panduan penulisan esai pun perlu diketahui agar hasilnya masuk akal dan dapat dipahami oleh pembaca.

Menuliskan esai berarti membentuk sekumpulan ide yang saling berkaitan menjadi argumen. Esai menentukan informasi yang perlu diketahui pembaca dan juga urutan yang harus mereka terima.

Student.unsw.edu.au mengemukakan beberapa panduan untuk menulis esai. Dan yang paling penting untuk dilakukan pertama kali adalah tulis draft pertama dari esai yang akan dibuat.

Penulisan Draft

Hal yang perlu ditulis dalam draft adalah:

  • Struktur dan kerangka dari esai

Struktur akan membantu esai terlihat lebih logis dan juga rapi

  • Argumen yang akan Anda kemukakan

Argumen yang akan Anda keluarkan dalam esai merupakan jawaban dari beberapa pertanyaan, yang merupakan rumusan permasalahan dari topik yang akan Anda kemukakan.

Pastikan Anda menemukan pokok permasalahannya terlebih dahulu.

Identifikasi Pertanyaan

Dalam memutuskan bagaimana Anda menjawab pertanyaan, maka Anda perlu mengidentifikasi pertanyaan yang sesuai dengan konteks dan kata kunci.

  • Bukti apa yang akan Anda gunakan untuk mendukung argumen. Bukti harusnya didukung dengan penelitian yang pasti dan juga sumber yang terpercaya;
  • Menata argumen agar sesuai dengan logika.

Panduan Penulisan Esai

Setelah melakukan penulisan draft awal dan mind mapping maka mulai lah susun esai sesuai dengan struktur yaitu:

1. Pendahuluan

Pendahuluan memiliki struktur dari umum menjadi khusus. Buka paragraf pertama dengan pengenalan topik secara umum dan permasalahan yang akan dihadapi.

Tuliskan secara umum ide yang akan Anda ambil. Utarakan semua pemikiran yang akan menjawab pertanyaan permasalahan yang muncul. Selanjutnya adalah kemukakan secara luas argumen Anda.

2. Badan Esai

Esai dibuat dari sekumpulan paragraf, setiap satu paragraf memiliki satu pokok pikiran yang merupakan argumen yang akan diutarakan.

Setelah Anda mengemukakan pokok pikiran maka kemukakan penjelasan dari pokok pikiran tersebut.

Tuliskan bukti yang bisa menopang kebenaran dari argumen yang kamu keluarkan. Bukti bisa berupa: studi kasus, statistik, bukti dokumenter, buku akademik atau artikel jurnal.

Jangan lupakan pendapat pribadi Anda bagaimana bukti yang Anda kumpulkan bisa menjadi penguat di argumen Anda.

Rangkum per paragraf, dan jelaskan bagaimana tiap paragraf dapat mendukung argumen Anda secara keseluruhan.

3. Kesimpulan

Dilansir dari Monash.edu , menulis kesimpulan pastikan semua ide dan gagasan dapat terangkum dengan baik. Kesimpulan baiknya menggunakan struktur dari khusus ke umum.

Dalam kesimpulan masukan permasalahan, dilanjut dengan rangkuman kata kunci dan ringkas argumen yang menjadi jawaban atas permasalahan di atas.

Selanjutkan utarakan alasan atau hambatan untuk sampai pada jawaban atau argumen pasti pada pertanyaan di awal.

Kesimpulan bisa berisi tentang pertanyaan yang dapat menjadi topik untuk esai selanjutnya, prediksi tentang apa yang akan terjadi, dan rekomendasi penyelesaian terhadap fenomena yang sedang diteliti.

Most can be found online if you look around – a quick Google search usually turns up the most reputable ones.

Discover the finest writing contests of 2024 for fiction and non-fiction authors — including short story competitions, essay writing competitions, poetry contests, and many more. Updated weekly, these contests are vetted by Reedsy to weed out the scammers and time-wasters. If you’re looking to stick to free writing contests, simply use our filters as you browse.

Why you should submit to writing contests

Submitting to poetry competitions and free writing contests in 2024 is absolutely worth your while as an aspiring author: just as your qualifications matter when you apply for a new job, a writing portfolio that boasts published works and award-winning pieces is a great way to give your writing career a boost. And not to mention the bonus of cash prizes!

That being said, we understand that taking part in writing contests can be tough for emerging writers. First, there’s the same affliction all writers face: lack of time or inspiration. Entering writing contests is a time commitment, and many people decide to forego this endeavor in order to work on their larger projects instead — like a full-length book. Second, for many writers, the chance of rejection is enough to steer them clear of writing contests. 

But we’re here to tell you that two of the great benefits of entering writing contests happen to be the same as those two reasons to avoid them.

When it comes to the time commitment: yes, you will need to expend time and effort in order to submit a quality piece of writing to competitions. That being said, having a hard deadline to meet is a great motivator for developing a solid writing routine.

Think of entering contests as a training session to become a writer who will need to meet deadlines in order to have a successful career. If there’s a contest you have your eye on, and the deadline is in one month, sit down and realistically plan how many words you’ll need to write per day in order to meet that due date — and don’t forget to also factor in the time you’ll need to edit your story!

For tips on setting up a realistic writing plan, check out this free, ten-day course : How to Build a Rock-Solid Writing Routine.

In regards to the fear of rejection, the truth is that any writer aspiring to become a published author needs to develop relatively thick skin. If one of your goals is to have a book traditionally published, you will absolutely need to learn how to deal with rejection, as traditional book deals are notoriously hard to score. If you’re an indie author, you will need to adopt the hardy determination required to slowly build up a readership.

The good news is that there’s a fairly simple trick for learning to deal with rejection: use it as a chance to explore how you might be able to improve your writing.

In an ideal world, each rejection from a publisher or contest would come with a detailed letter, offering construction feedback and pointing out specific tips for improvement. And while this is sometimes the case, it’s the exception and not the rule.

Still, you can use the writing contests you don’t win as a chance to provide yourself with this feedback. Take a look at the winning and shortlisted stories and highlight their strong suits: do they have fully realized characters, a knack for showing instead of telling, a well-developed but subtly conveyed theme, a particularly satisfying denouement?

The idea isn’t to replicate what makes those stories tick in your own writing. But most examples of excellent writing share a number of basic craft principles. Try and see if there are ways for you to translate those stories’ strong points into your own unique writing.

Finally, there are the more obvious benefits of entering writing contests: prize and publication. Not to mention the potential to build up your readership, connect with editors, and gain exposure.

Resources to help you win writing competitions in 2024

Every writing contest has its own set of submission rules. Whether those rules are dense or sparing, ensure that you follow them to a T. Disregarding the guidelines will not sway the judges’ opinion in your favor — and might disqualify you from the contest altogether. 

Aside from ensuring you follow the rules, here are a few resources that will help you perfect your submissions.

After you submit to a writing competition in 2024

It’s exciting to send a piece of writing off to a contest. However, once the initial excitement wears off, you may be left waiting for a while. Some writing contests will contact all entrants after the judging period — whether or not they’ve won. Other writing competitions will only contact the winners. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind after you submit:

Many writing competitions don’t have time to respond to each entrant with feedback on their story. However, it never hurts to ask! Feel free to politely reach out requesting feedback — but wait until after the selection period is over.

If you’ve submitted the same work to more than one writing competition or literary magazine, remember to withdraw your submission if it ends up winning elsewhere.

After you send a submission, don’t follow it up with a rewritten or revised version. Instead, ensure that your first version is thoroughly proofread and edited. If not, wait until the next edition of the contest or submit the revised version to other writing contests.

Essay  COMPETITION

2024 global essay prize, the short list for the 2024 global essay prize was released on wednesday, 31 july..

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. Our Essay Competition invites students to explore a wide range of challenging and interesting questions beyond the confines of the school curriculum.

Entering an essay in our competition can build knowledge, and refine skills of argumentation. It also gives students the chance to have their work assessed by experts. All of our essay prizes are judged by a panel of senior academics drawn from leading universities including Oxford and Princeton, under the leadership of the Chairman of Examiners, former Cambridge philosopher, Dr Jamie Whyte.

The judges will choose their favourite essay from each of seven subject categories - Philosophy, Politics, Economics, History, Psychology, Theology and Law - and then select the winner of the Grand Prize for the best entry in any subject. There is also a separate prize awarded for the best essay in the junior category, for under 15s.

Q1. Do we have any good reasons to trust our moral intuition?

Q2. Do girls have a (moral) right to compete in sporting contests that exclude boys?

Q3. Should I be held responsible for what I believe?

6591aadd752124.36008550.jpg

Q1. Is there such a thing as too much democracy?

Q2. Is peace in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip possible?

Q3. When is compliance complicity?

Q1. What is the optimal global population?  

Q2. Accurate news reporting is a public good. Does it follow that news agencies should be funded from taxation?

Q3. Do successful business people benefit others when making their money, when spending it, both, or neither?

Q1. Why was sustained economic growth so rare before the later 18th century and why did this change?

Q2. Has music ever significantly changed the course of history?

Q3. Why do civilisations collapse? Is our civilisation in danger?

Q1. When, if ever, should a company be permitted to refuse to do business with a person because of that person’s public statements?

Q2. In the last five years British police have arrested several thousand people for things they posted on social media. Is the UK becoming a police state?

Q3. Your parents say that 11pm is your bedtime. But they don’t punish you if you don’t go to bed by 11pm. Is 11pm really your bedtime?

pri80631202.jpg

Q1. According to a study by researchers at four British universities, for each 15-point increase in IQ, the likelihood of getting married increases by around 35% for a man but decreases by around 58% for a woman. Why?

In the original version of this question we misstated a statistic. This was caused by reproducing an error that appeared in several media summaries of the study. We are grateful to one of our contestants, Xinyi Zhang, who helped us to see (with humility and courtesy) why we should take more care to check our sources. We corrected the text on 4 April. Happily, the correction does not in any way alter the thrust of the question.

Q2. There is an unprecedented epidemic of depression and anxiety among young people. Can we fix this? How?

Q3. What is the difference between a psychiatric illness and a character flaw?

Q1. “I am not religious, but I am spiritual.” What could the speaker mean by “spiritual”?

Q2. Is it reasonable to thank God for protection from some natural harm if He is responsible for causing the harm?

Q3. Does God reward those who believe in him? If so, why?

woman praising.png

JUNIOR prize

Q2. Has the anti-racism movement reduced racism?

Q3. Is there life after death?

Q4. How did it happen that governments came to own and run most high schools, while leaving food production to private enterprise? 

Q5. When will advancing technology make most of us unemployable? What should we do about this?

Q6. Should we trust fourteen-year-olds to make decisions about their own bodies? 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS & FURTHER DETAILS

Please read the following carefully.

Entry to the John Locke Institute Essay Competition 2024 is open to students from any country.

Registration  

Only candidates who registered before the registration deadline of Friday, 31 May 2024 may enter this year's competition.

All entries must be submitted by 11.59 pm BST on  the submission deadline: Sunday, 30 June 2024 .  Candidates must be eighteen years old, or younger, on that date. (Candidates for the Junior Prize must be fourteen years old, or younger, on that date.)

Entry is free.

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

The filename of your pdf must be in this format: FirstName-LastName-Category-QuestionNumber.pdf; so, for instance, Alexander Popham would submit his answer to question 2 in the Psychology category with the following file name:

Alexander-Popham-Psychology-2.pdf

Essays with filenames which are not in this format will be rejected.

The candidate's name should NOT appear within the document itself. 

Candidates should NOT add footnotes. They may, however, add endnotes and/or a Bibliography that is clearly titled as such.

Each candidate will be required to provide the email address of an academic referee who is familiar with the candidate's written academic work. This should be a school teacher, if possible, or another responsible adult who is not a relation of the candidate. The John Locke Institute will email referees to verify that the essays submitted are indeed the original work of the candidates.

Submissions may be made as soon as registration opens in April. We recommend that you submit your essay well in advance of the deadline to avoid any last-minute complications.  To submit your essay, click here .  

Acceptance of your essay depends on your granting us permission to use your data for the purposes of receiving and processing your entry as well as communicating with you about the Awards Ceremony Dinner, the academic conference, and other events and programmes of the John Locke Institute and its associated entities.  

Late entries

If for any reason you miss the 30 June deadline you will have an opportunity to make a late entry, under two conditions:

a) A late entry fee of 20.00 USD must be paid by credit card within twenty-four hours of the original deadline; and

b) Your essay must be submitted  before 11.59 pm BST on Wednesday, 10 July 2024.

To pay for late entry, a registrant need only log into his or her account, select the relevant option and provide the requested payment information.

Our grading system is proprietary. Essayists may be asked to discuss their entry with a member of the John Locke Institute’s faculty. We use various means to identify plagiarism, contract cheating, the use of AI and other forms of fraud . Our determinations in all such matters are final.

Essays will be judged on knowledge and understanding of the relevant material, the competent use of evidence, quality of argumentation, originality, structure, writing style and persuasive force. The very best essays are likely to be those which would be capable of changing somebody's mind. Essays which ignore or fail to address the strongest objections and counter-arguments are unlikely to be successful .

Candidates are advised to answer the question as precisely and directly as possible.

The writers of the best essays will receive a commendation and be shortlisted for a prize. Writers of shortlisted essays will be notified by 11.59 pm BST on Wednesday, 31 July. They will also be invited to London for an invitation-only academic conference and awards dinner in September, where the prize-winners will be announced. Unlike the competition itself, the academic conference and awards dinner are not free. Please be aware that n obody is required to attend either the academic conference or the prize ceremony. You can win a prize without travelling to London.

All short-listed candidates, including prize-winners, will be able to download eCertificates that acknowledge their achievement. If you win First, Second or Third Prize, and you travel to London for the ceremony, you will receive a signed certificate. 

There is a prize for the best essay in each category. The prize for each winner of a subject category, and the winner of the Junior category, is a scholarship worth US$2000 towards the cost of attending any John Locke Institute programme, and the essays will be published on the Institute's website. Prize-giving ceremonies will take place in London, at which winners and runners-up will be able to meet some of the judges and other faculty members of the John Locke Institute. Family, friends, and teachers are also welcome.

The candidate who submits the best essay overall will be awarded an honorary John Locke Institute Junior Fellowship, which comes with a US$10,000 scholarship to attend one or more of our summer schools and/or visiting scholars programmes. 

The judges' decisions are final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

R egistration opens: 1 April, 2024.

The John Locke Institute's Global Essay Prize is acknowledged as the world's most prestigious essay competition. 

We welcome tens of thousands of submissions from ambitious students in more than 150 countries, and our examiners - including distinguished philosophers, political scientists, economists, historians, psychologists, theologians, and legal scholars - read and carefully assess every entry. 

I encourage you to register for this competition, not only for the hope of winning a prize or commendation, and not only for the chance to join the very best contestants at our academic conference and gala ceremony in London, but equally for the opportunity to engage in the serious scholarly enterprise of researching, reflecting on, writing about, and editing an answer to one of the important and provocative questions in this year's Global Essay Prize. 

We believe that the skills you will acquire in the process will make you a better thinker and a more effective advocate for the ideas that matter most to you.

I hope to see you in September!

Best wishes,

Jamie Whyte, Ph.D. (C ANTAB ) 

Chairman of Examiners

Q. I missed the registration deadline. May I still register or submit an essay?

A. No. Only candidates who registered before 31 May will be able to submit an essay. 

Q. Are footnote s, endnotes, a bibliography or references counted towards the word limit?

A. No. Only the body of the essay is counted. 

Q. Are in-text citations counted towards the word limit? ​

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

Q. Is it necessary to include foo tnotes or endnotes in an essay? ​

A. You  may not  include footnotes, but you may include in-text citations or endnotes. You should give your sources of any factual claims you make, and you should ackn owledge any other authors on whom you rely.​

Q. I am interested in a question that seems ambiguous. How should I interpret it?

A. You may interpret a question as you deem appropriate, clarifying your interpretation if necessary. Having done so, you must answer the question as directly as possible.

Q. How strict are  the age eligibility criteria?

A. Only students whose nineteenth birthday falls after 30 June 2024 will be eligible for a prize or a commendation. In the case of the Junior category, only students whose fifteenth birthday falls after 30 June 2024 will be eligible for a prize or a commendation. 

Q. May I submit more than one essay?

A. Yes, you may submit as many essays as you please in any or all categories.

Q. If I am eligible to compete in the Junior category, may I also (or instead) compete in another category?

A. Yes, you may.

Q. May I team up with someone else to write an essay?  

A. No. Each submitted essay must be entirely the work of a single individual.

Q. May I use AI, such as ChatGPT or the like, in writing my essay?

A. All essays will be checked for the use of AI. If we find that any content is generated by AI, your essay will be disqualified. We will also ask you, upon submission of your essay, whether you used AI for  any  purpose related to the writing of your essay, and if so, you will be required to provide details. In that case, if, in our judgement, you have not provided full and accurate details of your use of AI, your essay will be disqualified. 

Since any use of AI (that does not result in disqualification) can only negatively affect our assessment of your work relative to that of work that is done without using AI, your safest course of action is simply not to use it at all. If, however, you choose to use it for any purpose, we reserve the right to make relevant judgements on a case-by-case basis and we will not enter into any correspondence. 

Q. May I have someone else edit, or otherwise help me with, my essay?

A. You may of course discuss your essay with others, and it is perfectly acceptable for them to offer general advice and point out errors or weaknesses in your writing or content, leaving you to address them.

However, no part of your essay may be written by anyone else. This means that you must edit your own work and that while a proofreader may point out errors, you as the essayist must be the one to correct them. 

Q. Do I have to attend the awards ceremony to win a prize? ​

A. Nobody is required to attend the prize ceremony. You can win a prize without travelling to London. But if we invite you to London it is because your essay was good enough - in the opinion of the First Round judges - to be at least a contender for First, Second or Third Prize. Normally the Second Round judges will agree that the short-listed essays are worth at least a commendation.

Q. Is there an entry fee?

A. No. There is no charge to enter our global essay competition unless you submit your essay after the normal deadline, in which case there is a fee of 20.00 USD .

Q. Can I receive a certificate for my participation in your essay competition if I wasn't shortlisted? 

A. No. Certificates are awarded only for shortlisted essays. Short-listed contestants who attend the award ceremony in London will receive a paper certificate. If you cannot travel to London, you will be able to download your eCertificate.

Q. Can I receive feedba ck on my essay? 

A. We would love to be able to give individual feedback on essays but, unfortunately, we receive too many entries to be able to comment on particular essays.

Q. The deadline for publishing the names of short-listed essayists has passed but I did not receive an email to tell me whether I was short-listed.

A. Log into your account and check "Shortlist Status" for (each of) your essay(s).

Q. Why isn't the awards ceremony in Oxford this year?

A. Last year, many shortlisted finalists who applied to join our invitation-only academic conference missed the opportunity because of capacity constraints at Oxford's largest venues. This year, the conference will be held in central London and the gala awards dinner will take place in an iconic London ballroom. 

TECHNICAL FAQ s

Q. The system will not accept my essay. I have checked the filename and it has the correct format. What should I do?  

A. You have almost certainly added a space before or after one of your names in your profile. Edit it accordingly and try to submit again.

Q. The profile page shows my birth date to be wrong by a day, even after I edit it. What should I do?

A. Ignore it. The date that you typed has been correctly input to our database. ​ ​

Q. How can I be sure that my registration for the essay competition was successful? Will I receive a confirmation email?

A. You will not receive a confirmation email. Rather, you can at any time log in to the account that you created and see that your registration details are present and correct.

Essay Writing Contests: The Ultimate List of 2024

apa itu essay competition

Did you know that the very first recorded essay contest can be traced back to the early 16th century, initiated by none other than the renowned philosopher and essayist Michel de Montaigne? In 1580, Montaigne published his collection of essays titled 'Essais,' which not only marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of the essay as a literary form but also contained an implicit challenge to his readers. He encouraged them to engage with his ideas and respond by writing their own essays, essentially laying the groundwork for what we now recognize as essay contests.

Fast forward to the vibrant year of 2024, and this tradition of writing competitions has evolved into a global phenomenon, offering emerging writers from all walks of life a captivating platform to share their thoughts, emotions, and narratives with the world.

Apakah Anda kesulitan menyelesaikan esai eksposisi dan butuh bantuan membuat kerangka karangan? Kiat-kiat esai eksposisi dalam artikel ini akan membantu Anda mengatasi masalah apa pun yang mungkin Anda hadapi.

Kami akan memandu Anda tentang cara memulai esai ekspositori Anda, membahas strukturnya, menawarkan contoh esai ekspositori, dan menyertakan bagian tentang kesalahan teratas yang harus Anda hindari sehingga Anda dapat meningkatkan alur menulis Anda . Mari kita mulai!

Seseorang sedang mengetik di laptop.

Apa itu Esai Ekspositori?

An karangan eksposisi adalah bentuk tulisan yang bertujuan untuk menjelaskan, menginformasikan, atau mengklarifikasi topik atau ide tertentu. Tidak seperti esai persuasif, yang berusaha meyakinkan pembaca tentang sudut pandang tertentu, esai ekspositori didasarkan pada fakta dan analisis objektif. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk menyajikan informasi dengan jelas dan logis agar pembaca dapat memahami subjek dengan lebih baik.

Esai ekspositori biasanya mencakup pendahuluan, paragraf isi, dan kesimpulan. Esai ini dimulai dengan pernyataan tesis yang menguraikan topik atau argumen utama. Kemudian, setiap paragraf isi mengembangkan aspek tesis yang berbeda.

Lebih jauh lagi, ada banyak bukti pendukung seperti statistik, contoh, atau kutipan ahli. Ini adalah inti dari pekerjaan yang perlu Anda lakukan selama penulisan esai ekspositori. Oleh karena itu, tahap penelitian penting untuk memastikan bahwa Anda memiliki semua informasi yang Anda butuhkan.

Berbagai Jenis Esai Ekspositori

Sekarang mari kita alihkan perhatian kita ke berbagai jenis esai eksposisi yang mungkin Anda temui. Ini akan membantu Anda mempersiapkan diri untuk salah satu tugas ini di kelas menulis akademis Anda. Berikut ini adalah daftar jenis-jenis tulisan eksposisi:

  • Esai Deskriptif: A esai deskriptif menggambarkan secara gamblang seseorang, tempat, peristiwa, atau objek menggunakan detail sensorik. Hal ini dilakukan dengan menarik indra pembaca, seperti penglihatan, pendengaran, penciuman, pengecapan, dan sentuhan. Oleh karena itu, penulis menciptakan gambaran gamblang yang melibatkan emosi, sehingga bahasa deskriptif adalah kunci untuk mendapatkan nilai kelulusan.
  • Esai sebab dan akibat: Esai ini membahas alasan di balik suatu peristiwa dan konsekuensinya. Anda perlu menganalisis penyebab tertentu dan efeknya, dan penulis menjelaskan hubungan yang rumit. Organisasi yang efektif dan bukti pendukung membantu pembaca memahami hubungan antara berbagai peristiwa.
  • Esai proses: Esai proses menguraikan langkah-langkah yang diperlukan untuk menyelesaikan tugas tertentu. Esai ini memberikan instruksi yang jelas dan kronologis, yang sering kali mencakup detail dan penjelasan untuk setiap langkah. Tujuannya adalah untuk memandu pembaca melalui proses tersebut dengan mudah.
  • Esai perbandingan dan kontras: Sesuai namanya, esai ini meneliti persamaan dan perbedaan antara dua atau lebih subjek. Esai ini dapat membahas setiap subjek secara terpisah atau membahas poin-poin yang berkaitan dengan subjek tersebut. perbandingan dan kontras secara terstruktur.
  • Esai definisi: Esai definisi menjelaskan makna suatu istilah atau konsep dan lebih dari sekadar definisi kamus. Oleh karena itu, esai ini memberikan pemahaman yang komprehensif melalui contoh, anekdot, dan analisis implikasi istilah tersebut.

Struktur Esai Ekspositori: Apa yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan Pertama

Esai ekspositori adalah salah satu jenis esai yang paling umum, menurut MasterClass Oleh karena itu, melihat contoh esai ekspositori dan mempelajari cara memulai jenis esai ini akan memudahkan Anda. Lagi pula, belajar melalui contoh memungkinkan Anda melihat praktik terbaik untuk mendapatkan nilai tertinggi.

Pada bagian berikut, kami akan membagikan beberapa bagian pertama dari kerangka esai ekspositori dan menyertakan beberapa contoh.

Pilih Topik yang Jelas

Langkah pertama dalam menulis esai eksposisi adalah memilih topik yang jelas dan terfokus. Topik tersebut harus cukup spesifik untuk memungkinkan eksplorasi yang mendalam tetapi cukup luas untuk memberikan informasi yang cukup. Misalnya, Anda dapat memilih "peran lebah dalam penyerbukan".

Topik ini memungkinkan Anda untuk mendalami kontribusi spesifik lebah, dampaknya terhadap ekosistem, dan pentingnya lebah bagi pertanian. Ada cukup banyak hal mendalam di sini untuk memberikan dasar yang kuat bagi esai Anda. Lebih jauh lagi, topik yang jelas memandu penelitian Anda dan membantu Anda mengembangkan pernyataan tesis yang terfokus.

Lakukan Riset Menyeluruh

Setelah memilih topik, lakukan riset menyeluruh untuk mengumpulkan informasi yang relevan. Anda perlu memanfaatkan sumber-sumber yang kredibel seperti jurnal akademis, buku, dan situs web bereputasi baik untuk memastikan keakuratan data Anda.

Misalnya, jika topik Anda adalah "peran lebah dalam penyerbukan", carilah penelitian tentang populasi lebah, artikel yang membahas signifikansi ekologisnya, dan statistik tentang ketergantungan pertanian pada penyerbuk. Pastikan untuk mencatat dan mengatur informasi ke dalam kategori yang sesuai dengan poin utama Anda.

Lebih jauh lagi, penelitian yang komprehensif memperkuat argumen Anda dan menyediakan banyak bukti untuk mendukung klaim Anda guna meningkatkan kredibilitas esai.

Buat Garis Besar

Membuat garis besar sangat penting untuk mengorganisasikan ide-ide dan menyusun esai eksposisi Anda. Mulailah dengan pendahuluan yang menyajikan topik dan pernyataan tesis Anda. Kemudian, buat garis besar paragraf isi, yang masing-masing mencakup aspek tertentu dari topik Anda.

Sebagai contoh, Anda mungkin memiliki satu paragraf yang membahas biologi lebah, paragraf lain tentang proses penyerbukannya, dan paragraf ketiga tentang pentingnya lebah secara ekonomi. Terakhir, rencanakan kesimpulan yang merangkum poin-poin utama Anda dan memperkuat tesis Anda.

Secara umum, kerangka memberikan peta jalan yang jelas untuk tulisan Anda dan memudahkan Anda menyelesaikan pekerjaan dalam format esai ekspositori yang benar.

Tulis Pernyataan Tesis yang Kuat

Pernyataan tesis Anda harus dengan jelas mengungkapkan gagasan atau argumen utama esai Anda. Pernyataan tesis biasanya muncul di akhir pendahuluan dan menentukan alur keseluruhan karya. Anda dapat melihat contoh esai ekspositori untuk mendapatkan ide yang lebih baik tentang cara menulis pernyataan tesis yang unggul.

Misalnya, jika topik Anda adalah “peran lebah dalam penyerbukan”, tesis Anda mungkin adalah: “Lebah memainkan peran penting dalam menjaga keanekaragaman hayati dan mendukung produksi pertanian melalui aktivitas penyerbukannya, sehingga konservasi mereka sangat penting bagi kesehatan lingkungan dan ketahanan pangan.”

Pernyataan tesis yang kuat memberikan kejelasan dan memandu penelitian dan penulisan Anda. Akibatnya, Anda akan memastikan semua konten Anda selaras dengan argumen utama ini.

Buatlah Pendahuluan yang Menarik

Pendahuluan Anda harus menarik perhatian pembaca dan memberikan informasi latar belakang tentang topik Anda. Mulailah dengan kaitan esai yang bagus , seperti fakta yang mengejutkan atau kutipan yang relevan. Misalnya, Anda dapat memulai dengan: "Tahukah Anda bahwa satu dari tiga suap makanan yang kita makan bergantung pada penyerbuk seperti lebah?"

Ikuti kaitan tersebut dengan konteks tentang pentingnya lebah dan perannya dalam ekosistem. Terakhir, perkenalkan pernyataan tesis Anda, yang memberikan gambaran yang jelas kepada pembaca tentang apa yang diharapkan. Lakukan dengan benar, dan pendahuluan akan menyiapkan panggung untuk esai Anda dan melibatkan audiens Anda sejak awal.

1. Contoh Esai Deskriptif

Pernyataan tesis: Suasana pasar petani yang ramai dan semarak memperlihatkan kekayaan budaya dan masyarakat setempat.

Dalam esai deskriptif tentang pasar petani ini, penulis harus menggambarkan dengan jelas pemandangan, suara, dan bau lingkungan. Hal ini menangkap warna-warna cerah dari produk segar, aroma menggoda dari makanan panggang, dan obrolan ramai para pedagang dan pelanggan.

Lebih jauh lagi, melalui deskripsi sensorik yang terperinci, Anda dapat melibatkan pembaca dan menggambarkan suasana pasar yang unik.

2. Contoh Esai Sebab dan Akibat

Pernyataan tesis: Aktivitas manusia merupakan pendorong utama perubahan iklim, yang menyebabkan konsekuensi lingkungan yang parah.

Esai tentang sebab dan akibat tentang perubahan iklim mengkaji faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan pemanasan global dan dampaknya. Anda dapat membahas penyebab seperti polusi industri dan penggundulan hutan. Kemudian jelaskan bagaimana hal tersebut berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan suhu.

Selain itu, Anda dapat mengeksplorasi berbagai dampak seperti pola cuaca ekstrem, mencairnya lapisan es, dan hilangnya keanekaragaman hayati. Oleh karena itu, dengan menyoroti hubungan-hubungan ini, esai ini menekankan kebutuhan mendesak akan tindakan lingkungan dan meningkatkan kesadaran tentang konsekuensi dari aktivitas manusia.

3. Contoh Esai Definisi

Pernyataan tesis: Kesuksesan adalah konsep multifaset yang sangat bervariasi berdasarkan nilai, tujuan, dan perspektif individu.

Dalam esai definisi yang mendefinisikan "kesuksesan", Anda dapat mengeksplorasi berbagai interpretasi dari istilah tersebut. Esai tersebut dapat membahas standar masyarakat, seperti kekayaan dan pencapaian karier. Lebih jauh, Anda dapat menekankan definisi pribadi yang mencakup kebahagiaan dan kepuasan.

Selain itu, dengan menyertakan kutipan dari tokoh-tokoh berpengaruh dan kisah pribadi, Anda dapat menggambarkan sifat subjektif dari kesuksesan. Hal ini mendorong pembaca untuk merenungkan nilai-nilai mereka dan apa arti kesuksesan dalam kehidupan mereka sendiri.

5 Kesalahan yang Harus Dihindari Saat Menulis Esai Ekspositori

Sekarang mari kita fokus pada hal-hal utama yang perlu Anda hindari saat mengerjakan esai eksposisi Anda. Ini akan membantu Anda menghindari kesalahan-kesalahan yang telah dilakukan banyak siswa sebelum Anda. Lebih jauh lagi, menghindari kesalahan-kesalahan penulisan yang umum ini akan meningkatkan peluang untuk mendapatkan nilai tertinggi di kelas Anda.

Berikut ini adalah kesalahan-kesalahan utama dalam esai ekspositori yang harus dihindari:

  • Kurangnya pernyataan tesis yang jelas: Pernyataan tesis yang lemah atau tidak jelas dapat membingungkan pembaca dan merusak tujuan esai Anda. Oleh karena itu, tesis harus secara ringkas mengungkapkan gagasan utama dan memandu arah tulisan Anda.
  • Riset yang tidak memadai: Gagal melakukan riset menyeluruh dapat menyebabkan ketidakakuratan dan kurangnya kedalaman dalam tulisan Anda. Selain itu, mengandalkan sumber yang terbatas atau tidak dapat diandalkan dapat melemahkan argumen Anda dan mengurangi kredibilitas Anda. Oleh karena itu, pastikan untuk mengumpulkan informasi dari sumber yang kredibel, seperti jurnal dan buku akademis.
  • Organisasi yang lemah: Organisasi yang buruk dapat membuat esai Anda sulit dipahami. Oleh karena itu, setiap paragraf harus memiliki kalimat topik yang jelas dan berhubungan kembali dengan tesis Anda. Pastikan untuk menggunakan struktur yang logis. Ini bisa berupa urutan kronologis atau format sebab-akibat.
  • Bahasa yang terlalu rumit: Menggunakan bahasa atau jargon yang terlalu rumit dapat membuat pembaca terasing dan mengaburkan pesan Anda. Meskipun penting untuk menunjukkan pengetahuan tentang topik tersebut, kejelasan harus selalu diutamakan. Oleh karena itu, usahakan untuk menggunakan bahasa yang lugas dan dapat menyampaikan ide Anda secara efektif.
  • Kurangnya bukti atau contoh: Gagal mendukung klaim Anda dengan bukti dan contoh dapat melemahkan argumen Anda secara signifikan. Esai ekspositori bergantung pada informasi faktual untuk menginformasikan dan mendidik pembaca. Oleh karena itu, selalu sertakan data, statistik, dan contoh kehidupan nyata yang relevan untuk mendukung poin Anda.
