The Great American Think-Off TM is a yearly essay contest and national philosophical debate. Any U.S. citizen can enter with an essay of 750 words or less, based on personal experience only. Details on submission are available at the site. Each state has a winner and runner-up, and the four finalists are selected from that pool. This debate is held live and two essayists from the pro and con positions compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals.
