Each of the submitted essays was reviewed by at least more than one internal panelist to ensure there was no bias and provide a fair leveling field for all submissions.
We thank all of our NINE internal panelists, and FOUR external panelists engaged in the evaluation process. After checking each of the essays for 'AI generated Content' a set of criteria were used for evaluation: content maturity, critical thinking, style, relevance, and the impact of the writing.
Our panelists spent a considerable amount of time with each essay to properly evaluate the most qualified essays as our winners.
