Author and illustrator Mo Willems has been awarded the American Library Association’s Caldecott Honor three times for his picture book illustration. Additionally, he is the recipient of two Theodor Geisel Medals and five Geisel Honors for his Elephant & Piggie early readers. Mo began his career as a writer and animator on Sesame Street, where he garnered six Emmy Awards.

Over the last decade, Mo has written three musical theater works based on his books, two of which were commissioned and toured by the Kennedy Center. His papers reside at Yale University’s Beinecke Library.

The creator of The Pigeon series, Knuffle Bunny, and Elephant & Piggie, Mo will develop and present multidisciplinary programming and performances across the Kennedy Center including theater, jazz, dance, classical music, comedy, digital experience, and outreach over the next two years.

New York Times Editorial Contest

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
__________
Every school day, we use our daily Student Opinion feature to invite teenagers to share their opinions about questions we pose - and hundreds do, posting arguments, reflections and anecdotes.

Now, for the seventh year in a row, we're inviting them to make those thoughts into something a little more formal: short, evidence-based persuasive essays like the editorials The New York Times publishes every day.

As teachers know, the persuasive essay has long been a staple of high school education, but the Common Core standards seem to have put evidence-based argumentative writing on everybody's agenda. You couldn't ask for a more real-world example of the genre than the classic newspaper editorial - and The Times publishes, on average, two of them a day.

And at a time when breaking out of one's " filter bubble " is more important than ever, we hope this contest also encourages students to broaden their news diets by using multiple sources, ideally ones that offer a range of perspectives on their chosen issue.

Please note: This contest is open to all students ages 10-19 in middle school or high school. We will have two categories of winners this year.

If you have any questions about this contest, please contact us at LNFeedback@nytimes.com.

_________

We have changed our contest submission process to be better aligned with internet privacy laws around the world.

Students ages 16-19 can submit their own entries using our Student Submission Form, if they want.
Teachers can use our Teacher Submission Form to submit entries on behalf of students ages 10-19. The form allows teachers to submit multiple entries easily.

_________

1. You can write your editorial about any topic you like, as long as you use at least one source from The Times.

2. Use at least one non-Times source. But make sure that the source you use is a reliable one. We encourage you to find sources that offer different perspectives on an issue.

8. We will use this rubric to judge entries, and the winning editorials will be featured on The Learning Network. Your work will be judged by Times journalists, Learning Network staff members and educators from around the country.

1. Students who are ages 10-19 from anywhere in the world can participate.
This contest is intended for middle school and high school students. (Because the term "high school" means different things in different places, age is the primary eligibility requirement.)

Update, March 4: To clarify the rules, students who have already graduated high school or who are attending college or university should not participate.

Further, to respond to new national and international privacy laws, we now offer two ways to submit work:
Teachers can use the teacher submission form on behalf of students from anywhere in the world who are ages 10-19.

2. We have two entry categories for this contest: "middle school" and "high school."
Eligibility for each category is determined by age, and we will announce two sets of winners.

Nor are teenagers who live in the same household as those employees.
4. The deadline for this contest is Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

1. What is the "prize"?
Having your work published on The New York Times Learning Network - and, potentially, in print in a Times special section.

2. What if I need to prove to my teacher that I entered this contest?
Within an hour of submitting your editorial, you should receive an email from The New York Times Learning Network with the subject heading "Thank you for your submission to our Editorial Contest." If you don't receive the email within an hour, even after checking your spam folder, then you can resubmit your entry.
