New from The New York Times: The Modern Love College Essay Contest. "From the hippie culture to the AIDS epidemic to the Internet revolution, love has gone from 'free' to fraught to Facebook. What is love now, in this age of 24/7 communication, blurred gender roles and new attitudes about sex and dating?" The Times invites college students nationwide to submit a personal essay (1,500-2,000 words) "that illustrates the current state of love and relationships. The winning author will receive $1,000 and his or her essay will be published in a special 'Modern Love' column on May 4, 2008 and on nytimes.com." Deadline: March 31, 2008. No entry fee.
