Our Summer Reading Contest began July 1, and we announced our first winner on July 11 and our second on July 18. Our next winner, who will come from among these entries, will be announced on July 25.
To participate this week, the final one of the contest, just write in below and answer our question — “What interested you most in The Times this week?” —then tell us why you chose what you chose.
Please note that for the month of July, this is the only Student Opinion question we’ll ask.
For more details, and to see our student winners from last year, visit the full description here.
For now, though, here is a quick list of our rules:
You can choose from anything published in the print paper or on NYTimes.com in 2011. And yes, videos, graphics, slide shows, blogs and podcasts count.Feel free to participate each week, but we allow only one submission per person per week.The contest is open to students ages 13 to 25.Each response should be 400 words or fewer. (To check, you can paste yours into an online word-count tool like this one before you submit it.)Don’t include your last name – though feel free to include your age and hometown.So, students: Tell us below what you’ve read, watched or listened to in The Times recently that got your attention and explain why.
Maybe you liked a piece because you have a personal connection to it, because it reminded you of someone or taught you something, or because it moved you or made you laugh. Or maybe you were annoyed by something you read and want to argue with it. Whatever: we’re just interested in hearing what you’re interested in.
Students 13 and older are invited to comment below. Please use only your first name. For privacy policy reasons, we will not publish student comments that include a last name.
