Hektoen Grand Prix Essay Competition | $5,000 Prize

We invite you to participate in the 2021 Hektoen Grand Prix Essay Competition in honor of Hektoen Institute Board Member Mrs. Hella Mannheimer (1924-2020).

Two prizes will be awarded: $5,000 for the winner and $2,500 for the runner-up. Please read the instructions carefully before submitting your article for publication.

Topics might include art, history, literature, education, etc. as they relate to medicine. In order to ensure the receipt of a wide variety of articles, we have decided to exclude those dealing with COVID 19 from this contest.

We have many articles on medical history, so please search for your topic to see if it has been extensively covered before submitting an article.
