約翰洛克寫(xiě)作競(jìng)賽由普林斯頓、牛津大學(xué)聯(lián)合參辦,以17世紀(jì)英國(guó)著名哲學(xué)家、古典自由主義鼻祖John Locke命名,是人文社科含金量最高的國(guó)際征文比賽之一。
如果把不同階段、不同類(lèi)型的文章寫(xiě)作所需的時(shí)間和難度具體化,大致如下:

從字?jǐn)?shù)要求看,約翰洛克寫(xiě)作競(jìng)賽要求正文部分不超過(guò)2000詞,這一要求正好與美國(guó)大學(xué)社科類(lèi)課程結(jié)課論文字?jǐn)?shù)相當(dāng)。
從獲獎(jiǎng)難度看,沒(méi)有任何一個(gè)方向的獲獎(jiǎng)率超過(guò)10%,這也意味著,想要獲得一篇精彩絕倫的文章,并從幾千份作品中脫穎而出,需要留出充足時(shí)間備賽,反復(fù)打磨文章。
綜合來(lái)看,如果參加約翰洛克寫(xiě)作競(jìng)賽拿獎(jiǎng),學(xué)術(shù)寫(xiě)作大致等同于能夠完成美國(guó)大學(xué)社科類(lèi)課程結(jié)課論文的寫(xiě)作水平。
