As part of the 2015 GV Summit, we invited our community members and partners to write essays that explain and illuminate the real-world effects of an Internet-related policy on citizens in a specific country or region. The goal of this competition was to amplify the voices and perspectives of our community and to help show the world the effects of law and practice, and that they did. Judges  Lina Attalah ,  Tim Davies ,  Rebecca MacKinnon ,  Lokman Tsui , and  Tanya Lokot  selected three outstanding pieces of writing with an honorarium and recognition at the Global Voices 2015 Summit. The winners included Cameran Ashraf (first prize), Marianne Diaz (second prize), and Endalk Chala (third prize), along with essays from India, Russia and Sri Lanka that received  honorable mention . The three winning essays, unedited for the purposes of competition, appear below. Those that received honorable mention appear  here . We also give special thanks to Summit sponsor Google, which
