The Laws of Life Essay Contest invites young people (in middle and high school) to express in writing their personal ideals and the laws of life they value most. The Contest is also designed to help teachers and principals improve the "moral ethos" of their classrooms and schools.
Ultimately, the Contest is about communities working together to support, honor, and publicly recognize young people who reflect upon and write about their personal beliefs and values.

The Laws of Life Contest was created by philanthropist Sir John Templeton more than a decade ago and it is active in more than 50 countries around the world. For more information visit: www.lawsoflife.org
