Applications are open for the Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition 2020 2020 Launched by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall in New Zealand. The Royal Commonwealth Society is pleased to announce that The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition 2020 was launched in Christchurch, New Zealand by the Society’s Vice-Patron HRH The Duchess of Cornwall on the theme ‘Climate Action and the Commonwealth’.

Building upon the 2019 theme of A Connected Commonwealth, this year’s topics draw on the increasing youth movement across the Commonwealth and the ongoing climate crisis. Young people are called upon to consider their position and power in bringing about change, and how the Commonwealth can be used as a tool for positive action. Our Final Panel of expert judges described entries to the competition in 2019 as ‘massively memorable’, ‘original’ and ‘very powerful’. We expect a similarly high calibre of writing for 2020.

For 2020, we want to hear from all young people, regardless of age, education or region. All stories are important and all voices matter.

Senior Category
Born between 1 July 2002 and 30 June 2006 (14-18 years of age)
