Upon approval, the questions and other pertinent information are sent to all parishes inviting nationwide participation. The essays are judged by a committee of judges designated by the Contest Chair. Winners are announced and prizes are awarded at the Annual Convention. Winning essays are usually published in the UOL Bulletin.
