It's not every day that one finds an essay contest announced in the pages of the New York Times Magazine, but this weekend that's exactly what I discovered. The magazine is running an essay contest for college students (18 years old or older, enrolled in an American college or university, including students who graduated in 2007). Essays should respond to Rick Perlstein's article, "What's the Matter with College," which is linked at the contest site. The winning essay will be published in The New York Times Magazine and online at NYTimes.com (and will be featured on mtvU and mtvU.com; five semifinalist essays will be published on NYTimes.com. I can't seem to locate monetary prize amounts, but given the references to "freelance writer's agreement" and "taxes" in the rules, I'm assuming winning writers will be paid. There's no entry fee; submit your essay via e-mail per the guidelines by August 6, 2007. Check the above-mentioned site for more information.
