Originally a single prize, Plan II now awards 3 prizes each year, including a first-year student prize. The essay topics have ranged from hypothetical scenarios to real-world events and always challenge students to form an argument on one side of a debate, then present it convincingly. Plan II faculty members read each essay to select the winning essays, and all current Plan II students are eligible to enter.

Grand Prize: $5,000
First-Year Prize: $3,500 (best essay written by a first-year student)
Second Place Prize: $2,500

2020 Essay Prompt: Building Community during a Pandemic
