Naturally, there are more applications submitted than there are places available at competitive universities. Therefore, students are always trying to find ways to separate themselves from other applicants. Writing essays for external awards are a powerful way of showcasing to universities the academic passion you have for your chosen subject. It also highlights to university admissions tutors that you have the skill, passion and determination to complete a piece of academic writing outside the confines of the classroom.
