Essay Contest
Essay Contest
Each year, the LifeFirst Essay Contest sparks discussion between students and their parents and teachers about the value of life. Both generations come away from the contest experience better equipped for conversations in the larger community. We host two divisions – junior high (7-9) and senior high (10-12).
Public, private, and homeschooled students residing in Texas are eligible to compete. Please scroll to the end of the page to see the 2024 winners.
Essay Topic: Why are you pro-life?
Essays should be 300-500 words and will be judged on originality, content and accuracy. Submit questions to essaycontest@lifefirst.org.
Senior High: 1st place-$600 2nd place-$300 3rd place-$200
Junior High: 1st place-$400 2nd place-$200 3rd place-$100
In addition to the individual awards to winning students, LifeFirst will supply a gift card to classroom teacher/adult group leaders if three or more students in a class/group participate in one of our contests. The gift cards are to host a classroom party at the conclusion of the contest. Through the classroom parties, even students that did not participate directly in the contest can be drawn into the discussion of the value of life.
