Mars Society Contest For Students

Students; there is still time to enter the Hakluyt prize contest!

This year, as always, the Mars Society is conducting a contest for the best student letter to world leaders advocating a humans to Mars program. The letters should be no more than 500 words long, and will be judged on the basis of both the quality of the letter and the number of world leaders to whom it was sent. Students 22 years old and younger are eligible. The winner will receive an all expenses paid trip to the Mars Society Convention at Stanford, California, and a fine Bushnell telescope. Winners in past years have included Adrian Hon, 15, of Liverpool, England; Katie Harris, 17, of Georgetown, Ontario; and Felix Dance, 16, of Brisbane, Australia.

Entries should be sent to Mars Society headquarters by no later than May 31, 2001. Letters, including the list of leaders to whom they were delivered, may be sent by email to info@marssociety.org or via post to Hakluyt Prize, Mars Society, Box 273, Indian Hills, CO 80454, USA. The Hakluyt prize is named after Richard Hakluyt, the tireless pamphleteer whose writings convinced Queen Elizabeth I and the circle around her to take the policy decisions that made possible the British settlement of North America.
