24Writer Announces the Winners of the Essay Writing Contest!

First of all, the team of 24Writers would like to thank all the participants of the essay contest. We are deeply amazed at the number of essays we’ve got (over 1200). It’s a pleasure to know that so many talented writers are among us! Keep it up!

Time to find out who rocked this year’s contest. The competition was stiff, but our judges narrowed down to the three essays. So meet our winners:

Mary Evans from Dallas, TX. Currently, Mary works as an independent copywriter and a freelance blogger. She is a keen writer with a dream to win the Pulitzer Prize. For our contest, she wrote a stellar essay on “Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: What Industries Will Benefit the Most?”. Mary showcased a fluent understanding of the topic, perfect wording, essay structure and formatting, resulting in the first place in the competition. Way to go! As for the prize money, looks like the Apple Store has a new buyer!
The runner-up in the competition is Ashley McLean from Houston, TX. After her graduation from NYU, Ashley has become self-employed blogger and writer. She wrote an inspiring piece on “There’s No Success Like Failure, and Failure’s No Success at All”. When asked about the prize money, Ashley said that she would like to do something fun. Have fun, Ashley!
And the third winner is Jessica Brown from London (the U.K.) with her essay on “Paleolithic Diet: A Reasonable Health Choice or Celebrity-endorsed Lifestyle?”. Jessica is a newbie writer pursuing her dream to become a full-time writer. She’s a 3d-year student of Birkbeck College, University of London. Jessica impressed the judges with her passionate essay where she revealed the problem of teenage anorexia. Great job, Jessica!

It was genuinely hard to define the finalists because all essays were intrinsically amazing. So we chose a number of additional essays which won our judges’ hearts. The authors of these essays will be e-mailed small appreciation gifts.
