Subject: Babel Young Writers' Competition

 
This year, Babel: The Language Magazine <https://babelzine.co.uk/> will be
running the ninth 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 in further and higher
education (i.e., at sixth-form, college or university).  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, and from language birth to
language death.

The winners will be announced in October 2022.  Good luck!

Individual and group prizes
---------------------------

We will publish two winners in our November 2022 issue -- one by an individual
young linguist, and one by a group of young writers. This option to submit as
a team recognises the importance of group study in linguistics.

Guidelines
----------

Deadline: Wednesday 31 August 2022

Length: Entries must be no more than 2,500 words.

Topic: Entries can be about any topic to do with languages and linguistics --
the important thing is that the article is accessible and interesting for
Babel readers.

Format: Entries should be clearly presented in a Word file, with images
submitted as separate JPEGs.

Submission: Entries should be emailed to babelthelanguagemagazine at gmail.com
with the title "Young Writer's Competition".
 



Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
