There are several types of writing competitions, all of which have the same goal: to write an interesting article. The writing competition usually has a minimum word limit set by the organizer. In most cases, the prize committee will explain what it is looking for in terms of the best or most creative answer. Please make sure you understand the criteria set by the organizer before writing your article. It would be best if you also tried to write an article that will be enjoyable to read. Otherwise, you may waste your time and energy writing an article that doesn't match the organizer's demands.
