The Ohio Statewide Laws of Life Essay Contest is a competition for winners of
local Laws of Life contests. OPCE has embraced the laws of life Essay Contest as an
important component in developing the character
of Ohio youth. In 2001, OPCE established the
first Statewide Laws of Life Essay Contest to
encourage the sponsorship of local essay
contests as well as to recognize exceptional
essays on a statewide level. OPCE believes that
by writing about the "laws" or values
by which they live their lives, students further
their knowledge of and conviction to good
character. Participating in a writing contest furthers
both academic goals and goals of character
education. The contest structure also builds in
participation of the wider community,
encouraging business and community members to
aid schools and parents in helping youth develop
good character.
