How to enter
- Just share a picture related to writing your college application essay on social media. It could be a picture of your desk where you’ll be writing. Or maybe the thing you’ll be writing about, like your first car or baseball gear. Or maybe just a selfie of you mildly freaking out. Your call.
- You can share your picture on Instagram, Twitter, and/or Facebook—and each site is worth another entry. So you can enter up to three times and improve your chances of winning.
- Important! To be eligible, you must be registered on CollegeXpress—if you’re not already, it only takes two minutes and is totally free. AND you need to tag @CollegeXpress in your post(s), because otherwise we won’t find you. (You can also use #CXRepresent.)
The contest runs from Wednesday, May 17, to Wednesday, May 24.
Winners
Up to FIVE winners will be chosen. Anyone registered on CollegeXpress can win. (Even if you’re not a rising high school senior, you can enter for someone who could use the essay help!)
