The Elie Wiesel Prize in Ethics<br />

Essay Contest<br />

An annual competition, the Elie Wiesel Prize<br />

in Ethics Essay Contest is designed to challenge<br />

college students to analyze the urgent<br />

ethical issues confronting them in today’s<br />

complex world. Students are encouraged<br />

to write thought-provoking personal essays<br />

that raise questions, single out issues and<br />

are rational arguments for ethical action. All<br />

submissions to the essay contest are judged<br />

anonymously. A distinguished committee<br />

reviews the essays and a jury, headed by Elie<br />

Wiesel, chooses the winners. Please note<br />

that no manuscripts will be returned and<br />

essays may not be submitted elsewhere until<br />

the awards have been announced. Winning<br />

essays become the property of The Elie Wiesel<br />

Foundation and may not be reproduced<br />

elsewhere without written permission. All<br />

undergraduate full-time juniors or seniors at<br />

accredited four-year colleges or universities<br />

in the United States are eligible to apply.<br />
