Are you a writer? Are you looking for an internship that will reward you for your writing talents with cash for college?
The Nation (a magazine that offers reporting and analysis of breaking news, politics, social issues and the arts) is looking for original, thoughtful student voices to answer this question in 800 words: “It’s clear that the political system in the U.S. isn’t working for many. If you had to pick one root cause underlying our broken politics, what would it be and why?”
The Nation will select ten finalists and two winners total. Each winner will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize and a lifetime Nation subscription. The five finalists will be awarded $200 each and subscriptions. Entries will be accepted through Saturday, June 30, 2013.
The contest is open to all matriculating high school students and undergraduates at U.S. high schools, colleges and universities as well as those receiving high school or college degrees in 2013.
Submissions and questions can be e-mailed to studentprize@thenation.com.
Best of luck to all of the Next Steppers who apply!
