A '''competition''' or '''contest''' is an event where people get together to see who is the best at something. Someone who takes part in a competition ("enters for a competition") is called a '''competitor'''. The competitors compete against one another. The person who wins may get a [[prize]]. This may be a [[trophy]] or sometimes a [[money]] prize.
Competitions can be for all sorts of things: [[sport]], [[writing]], [[music]], [[dancing]], [[science]], [[chess]] etc.
There will probably be a [[referee]]. The referee will make sure that the game is played fairly and that the competitors obey the [[rule]]s. In things like music there will be an [[adjudicator]] who will decide which person they think is the best.[[File:Spanish walk.gif|thumb|Horse [[training]] for competition.]]
==Some examples of competitions==
There is a wide variety of competitions, e.g.,
* [[eating]] competition, where people try to eat the most food,
* [[running]] competition, where people see who is the first to run from one place to another,
* [[football]] competition, where football teams try to beat each other to win a trophy,
* [[singing]] competition, in which the adjudicator decides which person sung the best,

==Natural competition==
*In [[nature]], [[animal]]s compete with one another for the best food, the best [[nest|nesting places]], etc. According to [[Charles Darwin]], the competition in nature results in [[evolution]].
*In [[business]], firms that make the same things or offer the same services are in competition with one another (see [[market forms]]).
