The 2013 essay contest is now closed. 

Thank you all for your submissions and for sharing a few words on the importance of literacy with us! We had over 700 essays from high school students all across Canada for our inaugural 2013 contest. It was inspiring to see many youth passionate about literacy and why it's so important. We hope that you will find the winning essays just as inspiring as we did. Congratulations to the winners and all the participants! We hope to see your entry for our 2014 contest!
