AI Usage Policy: This competition values original thinking, authentic expression, and individual perspective.

However, the core ideas, structure, examples, arguments, and overall substance of the essay must be the participant's own work. The following are not allowed: Fully AI-generated essays Heavily AI-written submissions with minimal human input Copy-pasting essays generated by AI tools Submissions that do not reflect the participant's own understanding and expression If the organizers reasonably determine that a submission is largely AI-generated, generic, non-original, or inconsistent with the spirit of the competition, the entry may be disqualified. By submitting an entry, the participant confirms that the work is substantially original and genuinely their own.
