The Waterman Fund announces it new Alpine Essay Contest and seeks submissions until May 1, 2008.
The Waterman Fund seeks the submission of essays about life in the mountains of the northeastern U.S. for its inaugural Waterman Fund Alpine Essay Contest.
Guy and Laura Waterman spent a lifetime reflecting and writing on the Northeast's mountains. The Waterman Fund seeks to further their legacy through essays and stories that celebrate the spirit of the Northeast's mountains. We encourage the submission of essays that explore the relationship between the human spirit and that environment. For example, we seek scientific essays about the effects of global warming; personal stories about hiking experiences; or writings that explore the relationship between people and wildness.
Essays must be original works ranging from 2500 to 4000 words. The submission deadline is May 1, 2008. The winning piece will be published in Appalachia Journal, and the winning essayist will be awarded $2,000.
Writers who have not published a book on such topic or who have not been published in a national magazine on such topic are eligible for participation. For details on how to submit an essay, go to http://www.watermanfund.org/categories/events/essay_contest.php.
