The Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition 2025 is now closed!

Our 2026 Competition will be announced soon! 

​

A massive thank you to all those young people across the Commonwealth who took the time to share their views on the relevance of journeys in a Commonwealth context, whether geographical, historical or personal. What journeys the Commonwealth has taken or may take in the future, as well as to reflect on their own individual journeys. A further huge thank you to all those who gave their time to promote the competition or guided their students to submit an entry!  ​
