The Writing Contest of 2021 accepted submissions from March 1st to April 6th. All entries were so close in quality that it was difficult for the judges to agree on three to win among them, and it is the first and only instance of a shared place prize thus far, as a result. It ran under the theme of "A normal being's point of view and life amidst global events."
