These are the benefits for your students, your college and you:

Every student entering a credible essay will receive a Certificate of Achievement recognizing his/her accomplishment;

Finalists will receive national recognition for themselves, their instructors and their schools;

The best essay or essays will be published, in whole or in part, in a tract for national circulation for the public and in Academia;

Students should not assume that they'll be competing against thousands of other essays. We receive fewer entries than you might think. But, for the students, the greatest benefit of all is researching and writing a creditable essay on an important and timely topic. The best way for your students to win is to assign the Essay as: a course requirement, a term paper or for extra credit.
