2023 entries for Bishop Mike Okonkwo national essay competition open

Entries for the 18th Mike Okonkwo National Essay Competition for secondary school students in Nigeria have opened. The closing date is June 2. The topic for this year’s competition is ‘Nigerianisation of Nigerians: A look inwards.’

Entry requirements include, an essay of maximum of 2000 words, a passport photograph of the student, full name, address, contact telephone number, class, school as well as name and telephone contact of the principal. All essays should be submitted in word format through email to [email protected].

In a statement by the Corporate Services Director, Oluwayomi Uteh, the star winner would go home with N500, 000 cash, trophy and plaque, while the school gets a desktop computer. The first runner-up gets a cash prize of N250, 000 with a plaque, and the school will equally get a desktop computer. The second runner-up gets an N100, 000 cash prize and a plaque, while the school gets a desktop computer.

The competition is one of Okonkwo’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities aimed at raising the nation’s education standard and also sensitising students by making them analytically minded to excel in their world by developing their ability to think through issues.

It is also part of activities lined up to mark the 78th birthday of Okonkwo, who is the Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM). Over the years, the competition has helped in shaping the thought pattern of students to develop problem-solving skills.

The competition spans over a decade of developing and rewarding the writing skills of Nigerian youths towards national development. Prizes for this year’s competition will be presented to winners at the 22nd Mike Okonkwo yearly lecture, scheduled for September 7 at the Music Society of Nigeria (MUSON) Centre, Onikan, Lagos.

Okonkwo’s desire to show the love of God to humanity gave birth to the foundation, a non-governmental organisation committed to alleviating the plight of the less privileged in society through donations to hospitals, establishment of free vocational training centres, running free preparatory schools for students in secondary schools and facilitating regular public enlightenment campaigns on health issues amongst others.

To contribute his quota to national development, he also started the Mike Okonkwo Annual Lecture in 2000, which has grown to become a major contributor to government policies as it brings together seasoned men and women to discuss burning national issues.

Also, to encourage the writing skills of children in secondary schools and help them become solution providers to the nation, the Mike Okonkwo Essay Competition was born.

Regions Riding Forward® Scholarship Contest

Their Story. Your Voice.

Your voice is your own. But it's also been impacted by others. Who, we wonder, has inspired you? Let us know by entering the Regions Riding Forward Scholarship Contest. 

You could win an $8,000 college scholarship

For the opportunity to win an $8,000 scholarship, submit a video or written essay about an individual you know personally (who lives in your community) who has inspired you and helped you build the confidence you need to achieve your goals.

The details

The 2024 Regions Riding Forward Scholarship Contest consists of four (4) separate Quarterly Contests - one for each calendar quarter of 2024. Regions is awarding four $8,000 scholarships through each Quarterly Contest.

Each Quarterly Contest has its own separate entry period, as provided in the chart below.

The entry deadline for each Quarterly Contest is 11:59:59 PM Central Time on the applicable Quarterly Contest period end date (set forth in the chart above).

No purchase or banking relationship required.

Regions believes in supporting the students whose passion and actions every day will continue to make stories worth sharing. That’s why we have awarded over $1 million in total scholarships to high school and college students.

How to enter, 1. complete an online quarterly contest application.

Enter the Regions Riding Forward Scholarship Contest by completing a Quarterly Contest application.  The second Quarterly Contest runs from April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. Complete and save all requested information. 

2. Prepare your Written Essay or Video Essay

For each Quarterly Contest, the topic of your Written Essay or Video Essay (your “Essay Topic”) must be an individual you know personally, who lives in your community. Your Written Essay or Video Essay must address how the individual you have selected as your Essay Topic has inspired you and helped you build the confidence you need to achieve your goals.

Written Essay and Video Essay submissions must meet all of the requirements described in the contest Official Rules. Your Written Essay or Video Essay must be (i) in English, (ii) your own original work, created solely by you (and without the use of any means of artificial intelligence (“AI”)), and (iii) the exclusive property of you alone.

Written Essays must be 500 words or less. You can write your Written Essay directly in the application, or you can copy and paste it into the appropriate area in the application form.

Video Essay submissions must be directly uploaded to the contest application site. Video Essays must be no more than 3 minutes in length and no larger than 1 GB. Only the following file formats are accepted: MP4, MPG, MOV, AVI, and WMV. Video Essays must not contain music of any kind nor display any illegal, explicit, or inappropriate material, and Video Essays must not be password protected or require a log-in/sign-in to view. You must upload your Video Essay to the application, and you may not submit your Video Essay in DVD or other physical form. (Video Essays submitted via mail will not be reviewed or returned.)

Tips to Record Quality Videos on a Smartphone:

• Don’t shoot vertical video. Computer monitors have landscape-oriented displays, so shoot your video horizontally.
• Use a tripod. Even small movements can make a big difference when editing.
• Don’t use zoom. If you need to get a close shot of the subject, move closer as zooming can cause pixilation.
• Use natural lighting. Smartphone lighting can wash out your video.

3. Review and submit your Quarterly Contest application

Review your information on your Quarterly Application (and check the spelling of a Written Essay) and submit your entry by 11:59:59 p.m. Central Time on the applicable Quarterly Contest period end date. The second Quarterly Contest period end date is June 30, 2024.
