The deadline is fast approaching for the Water Resources Research Center’s newly inaugurated annual writing contest for undergraduate students at The University of Arizona, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University. Student contestants will need to submit their magazine feature style article on a water-related topic by 4:00 pm on December 18, 2009.
To compete, students should download and complete the application form, insert it as the first page of their article, and email the file containing their article and application form to wrrc.contest@cals.arizona.edu.
Three winners will be chosen, one from each university, and one grand prize will be awarded for the best article among all the entries. The four winning articles will be published in the Arizona Water Resource, a quarterly newsletter for state and regional water news and information. The contest is a unique opportunity for student writers to see their work published. The Arizona Water Resource reaches a wide audience that includes water professionals and policy makers.
Articles will be judged by an independent panel of writing professionals. The panel of distinguished judges includes Betsy Woodhouse, publisher of Southwest Hydrology magazine; Shaun McKinnon, the Environment, Water and Climate reporter for The Arizona Republic, and Joanna Dodder Nellans, reporter for The Daily Courier newspaper for the Prescott area communities.
