Special Programs

Writing competitions are one of the most compelling ways for students to demonstrate voice, intellect, and craft—qualities that stand out in college applications and beyond. Recognition in prestigious contests like the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the Concord Review, and national essay competitions signals to admissions committees that a student can think independently, argue persuasively, and communicate with clarity and depth.

Forum's Writing Competition program works with students at every stage, from developing a distinctive voice to refining arguments and polishing final submissions. Our tutors bring the same rigor and personalized attention to competition writing that they bring to every discipline—helping students not just compete, but produce work they're genuinely proud of.
