Subject: The Shell Economist Writing Prize 2003
Friends,
Shell (as in oil) and The Economist sponsor an annual writing contest, with a $20,000 cheque and publication in The Economist for the winner. This year's topic is "Do we need nature?" Seems like a topic some L&E folks might want to comment on--length 2,000 words, deadline 22 August 2003. For further information, check the website: www.shelleconomistprize.com.
