$10,000 Can Buy a Bunch of Beer

The America’s Future Foundation has asked me and a handful of others to serve as judges for its college blogger contest. The winner of the best college blog will get a cool $10,000 cash prize and an invitation to speak at an AFF roundtable discussion.

The goal of the contest is to encourage online journalism/blogging by libertarians and conservatives on college campuses. It’s open to all graduate and undergraduate bloggers age 25 and younger.

Entries are due by Dec. 31. You can find out the rules of the contest on the AFF website. Basically, after the AFF team narrows down the entries to a list of 10, the seven judges will monitor the blogs and vote for the best one. A winner will be announced on April 7, 2008.

UPDATE — 11:15 a.m.: On a related note, the Independent Women’s Forum is sponsoring a contest with up to $10,000 in prize money for the best college essay. The contest is open to female undergraduate students. First prize is $5,000.
