WireTap Readers and Writers,
Our friends over at The Nation magazine just announced their second annual
Nation Student Writing Contest and we want to make sure you knew about
this exciting opportunity.
http://www.thenation.com/about/student_writing_contest.mhtml
The Nation is looking for original, thoughtful, provocative student voices
to tell us what is the most important issue for young people in the 2008
presidential campaign. Essays should not exceed 800 words and should
be original, unpublished work that demonstrates clear thinking and superior
quality of expression and craftsmanship. The Nation will select five
finalists (including at least one high-schooler) and one winner, who will be
awarded a $1,000 cash prize and a Nation subscription. The winning
essay will be published in the print magazine and featured on The Nation
and WireTap websites. The five finalists will be awarded $200 each, Nation
subscriptions, and their entries will be published at TheNation.com and WireTap.
The contest is open to students at U.S. high schools and to undergraduates
at U.S. colleges and universities. If you are a high school or college teacher,
consider turning this into a class assignment. Entries (only one per student)
will be accepted through May 31. A winner will be announced by September 4.
Please send entries to studentprize@thenation.com.
For last year's inaugural contest, The Nation received more than
700 submissions from high school and college students in forty-one states.
You can check out Sarah Stillman's winning essay, as well as the essays
of the five finalists -- Brie Cubelic, Zaid Jilani, Nikolas Bowie, Lianne Yim
and Camila Domonske -- here:
