Why Attend This Exclusive Webinar?
The 2026 John Locke Institute Essay Competition topics are finally here. As one of the most competitive academic contests globally, simply having "good English" or a "strong argument" is no longer enough to secure a Prize or High Commendation.
The difference between a shortlist winner and a rejection often comes down to the "unwritten rules" of the grading rubric.
Han Education is proud to present an exclusive strategy session with Dr. Wang, a John Locke Judge.
Stop guessing what the examiners want. In this session, Dr. Wang will take you behind the curtain to reveal how essays are actually graded, which 2026 topics offer the best probability of success, and how to structure an essay that grabs a judge’s attention in the first 30 seconds.
