What are WIN points?
We would frequently offer you opportunities to participate in essays.org contests with reasonable prizes like computers, PDA, game consoles, etc. To win some of the prizes, you have to do any of the following:1. Submit essay (longer essay, more WIN points gathered).
2. Rate the quality of the other essays.*
3. Write a comment about the other essays.**
*You have to download the essay first, before you rate it (page with detail of the essay).
**To avoid unethical and illegal comments, all comments are authorized by our reviewers. You do not receive the win points until your comment is authorized.
For each of these actions, you score specific number of the WIN points. The actual score of your WIN points is shown on homepage after logging into the system.
