Subject: Babel Young Writers' Competition

 
This year, Babel: The Language Magazine (https://babelzine.co.uk/) will be
running the seventh edition of our Young Writers' Competition, which
encourages young linguists who are starting out on their study of language.

The competition is open to all linguistics students at the 16–18-year-old and
undergraduate stages.  The winner will appear in Babel №33, to be published in
November 2020.  If you are a keen Babel reader and language lover, get writing
to be in with a chance of getting yourself published – as well as a year's
subscription to Babel!

Keep an eye on @Babelzine on Twitter for inspiration from previous winners on
topics ranging from sign language to spoonerisms, from language death to
language birth.

The winners will be announced in October 2020.  Good luck!
