Caritas Nigeria Essay Competition For Secondary Students 2025
Caritas Nigeria is calling for entries from senior secondary students for its 2025 essay competition. It’s part of their 15-year anniversary, and the theme this year touches something deep: “How can young people in Nigeria be inspired to create a culture or lifestyle of humanitarianism and be champions of social justice?”
The top three winners will receive cash prizes, and their work will be celebrated during the organisation’s 15th anniversary.
Caritas is calling on students to write from the heart, and the write-up must:
- Be original (don’t copy your seatmate, please)
- Be unpublished and free of plagiarism
- Stick to 350 words
- Include your full name, your parent or guardian’s phone number, and the contact of your school principal or vice principal
To be eligible, you must be:
- A student in senior secondary school
- Living anywhere in Nigeria
Public school, private school, day school, boarding school — as long as you’re still in SS1 to SS3, you can go for it.
To participate in this competition, send your essay to CN15thAnniversaryEssays@ccfn.org. The final day to submit is 5th September 2025.
Three winners will be picked, and they’ll walk away with:
- First Prize – ₦300,000
- Second Prize – ₦200,000
- Third Prize – ₦100,000
The winners will be announced and celebrated on 25th September 2025, during Caritas Nigeria’s 15th anniversary event.
