Contest on the Relevance of Thoreau’s Ideas
Each year the Live Deliberately Essay Contest, sponsored by the Walden Woods Foundation, invites youth aged 14–21 from around the world to respond to a selected quotation from Henry David Thoreau, reflecting on how his words and ideas are still alive and relevant in their lives and in the world. The 2016–2017 contest will have three age groups: 14–16, 17–18, and 19–21. One winner will be identified in each age group and will receive a $250 cash prize, plus an autographed special edition of Walden. Essays may also be selected to receive Honorable Mention in each age group, which will be awarded with an autographed special edition of Walden. Each essay is reviewed by at least two readers, and results will be announced by the end of April.
Deadline March 15, 2017, for essays
