The Laureates of Tomorrow - Nobel Essay Contest has been a three-year effort by the Consulate General of Sweden in New York, The New York Academy of Sciences and Nobelprize.org - the official website of the Nobel Foundation. Our goal has been to inspire and educate New York City high school juniors by encouraging their science research and learning by writing about a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry or Medicine. Collaborators for the project included the New York City Department of Education and the City University of New York.

The essay competition attracted hundreds of students eager to win the grand Prize: an all-expenses-paid trip to Sweden to attend the famous Nobel Banquet and other Festivities. The essay competition has been discontinued, and the last three winners traveled to Sweden in December 2007.

The partners of the essay competition wish to thank all the participating students, as well as educators, parents and supporters of the essay competition.
