I recently received this email from The Nation regarding their Student Writing Contest.  All of the links will open in new tab.  You can also access their website by clicking on the link above.  Interested students can email me at [email protected].  

Dear Michael,

We’re hoping you’ll know somebody who might want to submit an essay in The Nation‘s Student Writing Contest.

We’re asking students to answer this question in essays not exceeding 800 words: It’s clear that the political system in the United States isn’t working for many young people. What do you think is the central issue for your generation in Election 2016?

We’ll select 10 finalists and two winners total—six from college students, six from those in high school. Winners will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize and a lifetime Nation subscription. Finalists receive $250. The winning essays will be published in The Nation magazine and at thenation.com.

We’d be grateful if you could help spread the word. Many thanks for your help. Entries will be accepted through Monday, September 19, 2016 at 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time. The contest is open to all high-school students and undergraduates at US schools, colleges, and universities, as well as those receiving high-school or college degrees in calendar year 2016. More info here. Submissions and questions can be e-mailed to [email protected].

We’d be grateful if you could help spread the word. Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for your support,
Peter Rothberg
