Atlas Shrugged Essay Contest

The Atlas Shrugged Essay Contest is an essay contest offering 49 prizes of $50-10,000, and open to high school seniors and college students. Entering this one isn't easy. First, you've got to read Atlas Shrugged. (While I can appreciate to philosphy, I'd call it a tough read for most young people.) Then, you write and submit an essay of 800-1,600 words on a related topic. The deadline to enter is September 17, 2009, with a postmark no later than 11:59 PM, PST. More complete information can be found on the Atlas Shrugged Essay Contest web page.
