Flemming further disclosed that “With the imminent Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London and this years’ theme of Towards a Common Future, it’s such an exciting time to be involved with the Competition, and we can’t wait to share all the incredible entries with you. The Competition closes on Friday 1st June, and we are keen to have as many entries as possible from every corner of the Commonwealth before then”.

The RCS says The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay competition is the world’s oldest schools’ International writing competition, established in 1883. This year’s theme is titled “Towards A Common Future”.

“Through the sub-themes of sustainability, safety, prosperity and fairness, the 2018 theme asks young writers to explore how The Commonwealth can address global challenges and work to create a better future for all citizens, particularly young people “.
