Question:

What essay contests can I enter in order to get money?

Well, I'm not only entering the essay contests for money, but my teacher and my parents said that I have a special talent for writing, so why not get money from doing the things you like?
I want to get enough money in order to afford a good laptop.
Plus, I don't know what category this fits in, so if it's in the wrong section, please don't bother me about that.
