With the holidays soon approaching, money is on everybody's mind. Luckily, we've thought of a way to help history majors rake in the dough. The annual Writing Excellence Awards are under way, which could net you a cool $250 for submitting a well-written paper from the 2009 year. Past winning papers are available on the Puget Sound website under the Center for Writing, Learning and Teaching's page, if you are interested in seeing some of the elements for which judges are looking.
Rules for the Contest
Papers written as part of the requirement for courses taken at the University of Puget Sound during spring, summer, or fall of 2009 are eligible. Papers of any length may be submitted; short papers are as likely to win as long ones. A total of nine prizes ($250.00 each) will be awarded: two prizes in each category--Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics--and one prize each for Freshman Seminars, Connections, and Graduate Programs.
Students may submit no more than one paper in each category, and each paper must be accompanied by a description of the assignment and an entry form. (Entry forms are available in the Center for Writing, Learning, and Teaching, HO 105/109 and at www.ups.edu/writingexcellenceawards.xml.) Students should submit the original paper with the professor’s comments, or a photocopy of it, to the Center for Writing, Learning, and Teaching by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 28, 2010. We are unable to accept papers submitted after this deadline.Questions
