No substitution required

wants to win

wants to have won

- Sentence: Everybody wants to be winning a prize in the arts competition.

- Option 1: "want winning" – incorrect as "wants" is needed to agree with "Everybody."

- Option 2: "No substitution required" – incorrect because "wants to be winning" is awkward and not commonly used.

- Option 3: "wants to win" – a clear and direct expression of desire; most natural and grammatically appropriate.

- Option 4: "wants to have won" – implies the desire to have already achieved the prize, which changes the aspect of the sentence.
