2025 MOWW PHOENICIAN ESSAY CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT
The MOWW Phoenician Essay Contest is an annual patriotic-themed essay contest based on a thought-provoking subject of national interest and requiring a student to take a position and defend it. The contest is open to the top three students of each Youth Leadership Conference (YLC) held in the preceding 12-month period. The contest details are available in the MOWW Policy Manual (Paragraphs 6.C.4.b and 7.D.5), and the MOWW forms (12-series) posted to moww.org.
This year MOWW has increased the contest award amounts to $4000 for first place, $2000 for 2nd place and $1000 for third place. Each awardee receives a scholarship check and certificate. The awards are presented at a MOWW chapter arranged ceremony in each winner’s local community and are designed to maximize attendance by the student’s family and community.
