Write an op-ed and win $100!

The following is a message from our friends at Young Voices.

It’s no secret that free speech is under attack on college campuses. From Berkeley to Middlebury, many students and administrators seem intent on abandoning the university’s historical role of expanding perspectives to instead enforce a narrow, dogmatic worldview.

For freedom’s sake, this needs to change.

Young Voices is proud to announce the return of our Campus Pundit Program, rewarding current college students in the United States for standing up for free speech in their student newspaper.

Here’s how it works in three easy steps:

  1. Submit an op-ed draft (500-800 words) to [email protected] for Young Voices’ staff to edit.
    Need some advice on where to begin with writing? Check out Young Voices’ online lecture on the art of the op-ed.
  2. After editing, pitch your piece to your student newspaper or local publication for printing.
    Never pitched before? Check out Young Voices’ guide to pitching your student newspaper.
  3. If published, submit a link or photograph of your published article to the Campus Pundit listserv, and Young Voices’ staff will reach out about claiming your $100 reward.

Terms and conditions apply.

Got any questions? Email us at [email protected].

Together, we can tackle campus censorship.
