- 充实大学申请课外活动背景
- Aiming for developing writing skills
- Simulating college application essay writing (the essence between the two is similar, meaning students can develop their narrative and persuasive writing skills, which is key to writing good personal statements.)

The contest asks students to follow the guidelines below:
The tiny memoir should be a short, powerful, true story about a meaningful experience from your own life.
It must be 100 words or fewer, not including the title.
You must be a student ages 13 to 19 in middle school or high school to participate, and all students must have parent or guardian permission to enter.
Your essay must be your own work and original for this contest. That means it should not have been published anywhere else at the time of submission, such as in a school newspaper.
Keep your audience in mind. You’re writing for a family newspaper, so, for example, no curse words, please.
Submit only one entry per student.
While many of the contests allow students to work in teams, for this one you must work alone.
All entries must be submitted by Nov.1, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time using the contest form on the website.
