Subject: Babel Young Writers' Competition

 This year, Babel: The Language Magazine (http://babelzine.com/) will once
again be celebrating young linguists' insights into language with our Babel
Young Writers' Competition.  We will be publishing two articles representing
both 16–18-year-old linguists and linguistics undergraduates.  The articles
will be published in Babel No. 21, due out in November 2017.  If you are a
keen Babel reader or language lover, get writing to be in with a chance to get
yourself published - as well as a free subscription to Babel!

Visit http://babelzine.com/events to read our previous winners and pick up
some inspiration!

Young linguists have covered a wide range of topics, from British Sign
Language to spoonerisms, and from the history of Romansch to the mixing of
Korean and English.

16 - 18 Competition: Are you aged between 16 and 18 and would like to share
your love of language with the world? Send us an article on any topic to do
with language and linguistics to win the chance to begin your publishing
career!

Undergraduate Competition: Are you studying for a linguistics-related degree
and fancy a break from your usual assignments? Write a special essay for Babel
readers and get the pleasure of seeing your work in print!

Entries must be no longer than 2500 words, in English, and deal with an
interesting and accessible topic to do with language. Please e-mail your entry
to editors at babelzine.com with the title ''16 - 18 Competition'' or
''Undergraduate Competition''.

16 - 18 Competition entrants must provide details of their institution and a
teacher.

Undergraduate Competition winners must submit their entries from their
university e-mail address (e.g. student at uni.ac.uk) and must provide contact
details of a teacher at their institution.

The deadline for entries is Friday 25 August 2017. We will acknowledge receipt
of your entry soon after receiving it, and announce the winners in October
2017.  Good luck!
