The Plus new writers award 2009 has just been launched!
http://plus.maths.org/competition/index.html
Plus is looking for the science writers of the future, who can make
mathematics lively and interesting for a general audience.
Our annual writing competition - the Plus new writers award - is open to
new writers of any age and from any background who can explain a
mathematical topic or application they think the world needs to know about.
There are three categories in this competition: secondary school and sixth
form students, university students and the general public.
The winning entries will be read by an international audience of over a
hundred thousand in the June 2009 issue of Plus, and the winners will
receive an iPod, subscriptions to the journal Nature, and signed copies of
popular maths books by some of the best science writers today.
The competition will be judged by three prominent mathematicians and
science writers - judges in previous years have included the acclaimed
mathematicians and writers Ian Stewart, John D Barrow and Marcus du Sautoy.
The closing date is March 31st 2009.
If you think you can share your passion for maths with the general public,
visit the competition page http://plus.maths.org/competition/index.html and
get writing!!
