WINNERS MERIT LIST AND SCHOLARSHIP ATTRIBUTION

a. Winners Merit List – global ranking

The 5 highest ranked essays in each category will receive an honorable mention on French for the Future’s website.

b. Scholarship Attribution

Scholarships will be awarded based on the participants’ first choice of postsecondary institution, and then based on score.

The participant’s first choice of postsecondary institution will take priority over score. Therefore, a student with a higher global ranking than another student would not automatically receive a scholarship, in the event that their chosen first choice of post-secondary institution’s scholarships have already been awarded to participants with better scores than theirs.

In cases where some scholarships could not be awarded to participants who ranked a post-secondary institutions as their first choice, the Sponsor will then award these scholarships to participants who ranked them as their second choices, and then as their third choices.

A participant can only win one scholarship per National Essay Contest.
See sections 7 to 22 below for scholarship requirements specific to each institution.

SELECTION OF PRIZE WINNERS

Each essay will be judged by a panel of 4 judges who will be appointed by the Sponsor. All essays submitted will be graded on a total of 35 points. Each judge grades every essay they have been assigned. The final grade for an essay is the average grade given by all four (4) members of the panel. The evaluation grid the Judges will use to grade each essay they are assigned is available here.

In each Category, essays will be ranked by choice of post-secondary institution and by score.

Odds of an essay being selected depend on the number and caliber of essays received in the Category in which it is entered. In the event of a tie between essays in the same category, the essay that received the highest combined score on clarity and coherence from the four Judges will receive the higher ranking. In the event of a further tie, the essays will be re-reviewed by a panel of 4 different judges and ranked again. Essays that are not an original creation of the person submitting them, or which are illegal, defamatory or in any way obscene, all as determined solely by the Sponsor, will be disqualified. The sponsor reserves the right to use any and all tools at its disposal to certify that the essay is original work done solely by the participant. If it has been found out that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has written part of, or the whole essay, they will be disqualified from the Contest.

Judging will be completed by February 4th, 2025. The Sponsor will contact selected entrants by February 11th, 2025 at the email address or the telephone number provided by the entrant at the time of Contest registration. Before being declared a winner, each selected entrant must sign, or have their parent or legal guardian sign – if the selected entrant is under the age of majority in their province or territory of residence – a standard declaration and release form, confirming, among other, that (i) they assign all intellectual property including the copyright in the Essay to the Sponsor and waive their moral rights in the essay, (ii) they agree to the Contest rules, that they are in conformance with the Contest rules and that they agree, amongst other things, to the use without compensation of their own photographed image, their name and city of residence in all publicity campaigns related to the Contest, (iii) they will accept the prize as awarded, (iv) they release the Sponsor, the University of Ottawa, York University, l’Université Sainte-Anne, l’Université de Montréal, l’Université de Moncton, l’Université de l’Ontario français, l’Université de Saint-Boniface, the University of British Colombia, the University of Alberta, l’Uniersité de Hearst, Simon Fraser University, le Collège Boréal, the University of Lethbridge, La Cité universitaire francophone of the University of Regina, le Collège de l’Île, their advertising and promotion agencies, the Contest Judges and their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (the “Releasees”) from any liability in connection with this Contest, the Entrant’s participation therein and/or the awarding and use of the prize or any portion thereof. The release form must be received by the Sponsor by February 16th, 2024 by email, the failing of which the Entrant will be deemed to have forfeited their prize with no liability to the Sponsor. Once the release form has been received by the Sponsor, the winner will receive a letter from the Sponsor detailing the prize. The winner will be able to redeem their prize when they demonstrate to the satisfaction of the participating University offering the applicable scholarship at issue that (i) they meet the Scholarship Eligibility Criteria applicable to the scholarship which they have won, and (ii) that they will comply with all the terms and conditions applicable to the scholarship being awarded as the prize.

Accepting a prize consisting of a scholarship of any amount at any participating institution within the National Essay Contest does not oblige the Contest winner to use the scholarship money or attend its corresponding university.

In the event a prize cannot be awarded for any reason, or is forfeited by a potential winner, the Sponsor shall not be under any obligation to award the prize to an alternate entrant.

If you have not been contacted by February 14th, 2025, you may assume that your essay has not been selected for a prize.

Official winners of the Contest will be announced on the French for the Future website March 3rd, 2025.
