It's good that there are such writing contests for youth. It's, first of all, part of the celebration, and secondly, it's a great opportunity to get new experience and test your skills. When I was in high school, I participated in different competitions, and it was beneficial for my skills. Now I'm a uni student, and I have to write a lot, and my previous experience helps. But still, there are situations when I use the help of https://essaylab.com/paper_writers_for_hire because I can't finish the paper myself. Usually, it's because I don't have enough time, and sometimes the task is too complicated. And I believe that the more experience you have, the easier it will be for you. So it's a great idea to participate in such competitions.
