Young Reviewers Competition

Are you 25 years old or younger? If so, you should enter the London Review of Books‘ Young Reviewers Competition.

All you have to do is submit one review, “praising or unpraising, between 2000 and 2500 words long, of any work of fiction or poetry published after the beginning of 2009.” The review must of course be original and cannot have been published elsewhere.

The prize? Aside from glory, you will receive a free one-year subscription to the LRB. Oh, and also £1000 (for those of you not up on your current exchange rates that’s $1,561.71). Learn more here.

    If one is not from England, would this person still be able to enter the contest?
