2023 #JEIEssayContest: Uncharted
Attention all young adventurers! JEI’s annual Essay Contest is back!
Embark on a literary journey that will take you to uncharted territories of creativity and intellect. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2023 JEI Essay Contest, an exciting opportunity for all active JEI students in grades 2nd through 9th to showcase their writing prowess.
This year’s contest theme, “Uncharted,” invites our young writers to set sail into the unknown. Imagine the thrill of exploring new horizons, discovering hidden treasures, and navigating through the uncharted waters of your community or world.

This is their chance to test out not only their reading and writing skills but also their ability to express themselves clearly and effectively.
