NEW YORK -- The New York Times has announced that today it will begin accepting submissions for the second "Win a Trip With Nick" essay contest. The contest was conceived of by Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times Op-Ed and TimesSelect columnist. The objective -- increasing awareness of Africa among young people. As he did in 2006, Mr. Kristof will choose one college or graduate student to accompany him on a reporting trip to Africa. This year, he will also select one middle- or high-school teacher to join the trip.
Any student 18 or older who is attending an American college, university or graduate school, and any teacher currently working in a middle or high school in the United States, is eligible to apply for TimesSelect's "Win a Trip With Nick." Interested individuals should visit www.nytimes.com/winatrip to submit an online application.
Also beginning on March 13, subscriptions to TimesSelect will be available for free to all registered college students and faculty with a .edu in their e-mail addresses. "We want students to have unfettered access to the full, rich content of The New York Times, especially the varied opinions expressed by the 22 columnists whose voices are heard through TimesSelect," said Vivian Schiller, senior vice president and general manager, NYTimes.com. |GlobalGiants.com|
