Essay Competition

The 2010 Essay Competition is now closed. We will be accepting entries for the 2011 Competition in November.

The Annual Essay Competition is the jewel in the crown of our winter season. Having extra languages is a fantastic skill and each year we challenge Portuguese and Spanish speakers from across the UK to explore the full potential of theirs. The theme is never the same but the challenge is: wow us with your imagination within the language in the space of just 750-1,000 words. For your troubles we offer you truly superb prizes in the way of trips to Latin America and spending money on top of that.
