The 2008 NH Liberty Essay Contest has concluded, and judging has taken place. Due to the low number of entrants, I have modified the prize structure. Instead of providing three prizes in the two age brackets (17 and under and 18-21), I will be giving one first prize for each age bracket. However, I also increased the prize amount to be $75 and $150, respectively.
The winning essays were well-written, thoughtful, and demonstrated an appreciation for the contest’s theme of human energy and individual freedom. In addition to the cash prizes, the winning essays will be published state-wide in an upcoming issue of the New Hampshire Free Press.
