The prize is a collection of the best projects submitted for a competition. The prize is $500 I think...
Some of them i think are really good, I loved the surfing one... But I dunno, some of them are pretty dull I think. Good, but dull...

the first one on the writting of aboriginal history was clearly a cut above everyone elses, as I said before the HT at my school last year helped her write it, no wonder it was so good

i meant no offence, i thought it was an excellent piece of writing, however, my personal opinion was that there was clearly other essays among that top group that got their point across a little more concisely. Again, no offence intended sif, but if the HT helped her write it, perhaps it didn't really deserve the prize no matter how good it was overall?

i know i'd sure b pretty pissed off if i knew that the person who had beat me had had substantial help in the essay's construction by a HT, thats all, and im sure many others in this forum would agree.
i dunno if i misread your posts sif, but u make it sound like there was much help given.

ok, well if u heard right and her essay was only 'so good' because she had help from her head teacher then it probably shouldnt be in that group of essays.
Not well expressed but hey. im tired

i thought that the expression in the first essay was to exaggerated no matter who wrote it. it seemed too over the top.
