You can find examples of the series on our website here. (Please note that your submission should be in essay and not interview format.)
The contest is free to enter and open to any student currently enrolled in a degree program. To enter, email your essay to us at essaycontest@publicbooks.org, along with your name, school, graduation year, email address, and phone number. Attach your essay as a Word document AND paste it into the body of the email. Essays should be 750–1000 words in length.
