Every year, the Ontario Genealogical Society holds two essay competitions for students. Both require a paper to be written on a topic within family history. Both carry a prize of $500 and publication in the OGS journal, Families.
The Mike Brede Genealogical Essay Prize is open to any full-time student in a university or community college who is either a resident of Ontario or attending an Ontario university or community college.
The Dr. Don Brearley Genealogical Essay Prize is open to secondary school students in grades 11 and 12 in any Ontario school.
Submission deadline for both prizes is April 1, 2015.
