Xen: The end of Hate & Prejudice...begins with You
Avar Press is committed to recognizing
outstanding scholarship in high schools &
colleges. The Xen scholarship essay
competitions were first announced in
November 2005 and yielded superlative
entries and winning commentaries for 2006,
2007 & 2008. The detailed history of this free
writing contest can be found on the press
page.
In 2009 Avar is continuing this tradition for
high school students in the US and Canada
and for college students world wide. Winners
will share up to $4500 for 2009. To date
$9250 has already been awarded. For 2009,
winning college essays were announced April

About Xen: Recent generations of world
leaders have deliberated on the unification of
humanity, making insomniacs of the masses
drawn to conspiracy theories. Their
symbiotic angst proves unfounded in this
satire that commemorates the ascent of an
age of reason through interwoven parables.
What if half the world’s population will perish
before morning, culled by a single common
trait? In the establishment of the new world
order, would you be one of the chosen?
