New Essay Contest
By Diana Hsieh
From the Ayn Rand Institute:
The Ayn Rand Institute is launching a new essay contest, intended for anyone who has taken part in any of the Institute's essay contests over the years: Anthem, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. The topic of the new contest is "How Has Reading Ayn Rand Affected You?" Students and adults alike are eligible to compete for the top prize of $2,000.
The Ayn Rand essay contest program began in 1985 with Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead, and since then ARI has received hundreds of letters from former essay contest entrants eager to share their reaction to Ayn Rand's novels, as well as the impact that entering the contest has had on their lives. ARI's essay contests continue to grow, with over 27,000 total submissions in 2009. ARI is now inviting all former essay contest participants to tell their story.
The contest deadline is May 14, 2010. For more information, visit www.aynrand.org/contests.
