The New York Times is pleased to announce its second “Modern Love” College Essay Contest, open to college undergraduates nationwide. Students are invited to submit personal essays that reveal what love is like for them in this age of 24/7 communication, blurred gender roles and new attitudes about sex and dating.
Essay length: 1500-1700 words
Deadline: March 31, 2011 (11:59 EST)
E-mail to: essaycontest@nytimes.com
The winner will receive $1000 and his or her essay will be published in The New York Times on May 1. Runners up may also have their essays published.
The last time we held this contest, in 2008, we received nearly 1300 essays from students at more than 365 schools nationwide. To see the essays of the 2008 finalists, along with current contest rules and information, please visit: http://www.nytimes.com/essaycontest. “Modern Love” is a personal essay column about relationships that appears weekly in the Sunday Styles section of The New York Times.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Daniel Jones
