  • What are the odds of my winning the contest?
    It’s impossible to determine any “odds” that you will win this Essay Contest contest, because our Essay Contest is a “game of skill” and not a “game of chance”.

    A “game of chance” is when the given outcome of a game is at least partly determined by random variables rather than strictly by strategy or skill. Examples of this would be rolling dice, flipping a coin, playing the lottery, or having your name drawn from a barrel of many other names. Games of chance are typically called “gambling”.

    A ‘game of skill, which this Essay Contest is, is a game where the outcome is determined by mental and / or physical skill. As such, your chance of winning is solely determined by your writing skills and imagination.

Other categories in our contest score on a 1-20 point scale, which has a more significant impact.
