Essay Contest sponsored by Left Hook and Monthly Review:
Left Hook and Monthly Review magazine Associate Editor Michael Yates are co-sponsoring an essay contest. The subject of this year’s contest is ‘work.’ Entrants should submit an essay of up to 1,500 words describing a job or jobs they have had (or have now). What was the nature of the work? In what sense was it fulfilling and in what sense alienating? Could you imagine doing it for a lifetime? Can work be made meaningful in a capitalist economic system?
All entrants will receive a one-year gift subscription to Monthly Review magazine Monthly Review, and the best ones will be published on both Left Hook and MRZine, Monthly Review’s new webzine. Also, Left Hook will award $50 to the top essay writer as judged by Michael Yates.
Submissions are due no later than December 31, 2005. Send them to Michael Yates at mikedjyates@msn.com. Essays can be sent as attachments or pasted into an email. Do not send zipped files. RTF, Word, Word Perfect are all acceptable. Must be under 30 to enter.
