Every year, Sri Lanka Foundation hosts an essay competition to allow the youth within our expatriate community a chance to strengthen their academic writing abilities while also being able to discuss issues of importance in their lives, our culture, and the world today.

The Sri Lanka Foundation Essay Competition is open to all students in America from ages six through 18.

There was an overwhelming response to this year’s essay competition, and Sri Lanka Foundation would like to send out a hearty congratulations to this year’s winners.
