Dear Lord, as we gather before you to participate in this academic contest, make us
aware that we do this competition not for our own glory but to glorify your name.
Grant your wisdom that the contestants will value more the camaraderie and
cooperation that would happen today more that the glory of winning.
Allow the losers to learn that they are already winners because of their willingness
to share their talents. Let the winners learn that they succeeded because of your
blessing and guiding presence.
Bestow your generosity and love to all of us present today and bless also those who
are left at home. Whatever we accomplish in this competition, we offer all of these
to you.
Let this competition serve as a way to praise your name and spread your good news.
This we ask through Christ, our Lord, Amen.
