The Eidolon editorial board is happy to announce the second year of Eidolon’s annual high school essay contest. Like last year, the winning submission will be published in Eidolon, and the writer will be awarded a full scholarship to the Paideia Institute’s Living Latin in Rome High School program.
The topic for the contest is:
If you could bring back one figure (historical or mythical) from classical antiquity as a counselor/adviser to our politicians, who would it be and why?
Submissions are due by March 1, 2017. They should be between 500 and 1000 words. Please send all essays in .pdf format to eidolon@paideia-institute.org. Submissions should include the student’s name, the name of their high school, their grade level, and the name of their Latin teacher. To win the scholarship, students need to meet the prerequisites for the Living Latin in Rome High School program. Essays will be judged by a panel consisting of Eidolon editorial board members.
