I’m writing to remind you about an opportunity to enter a unique legal research and advocacy contest which requires you to submit only a very brief 1000-word idea outlining your proposal to protect nonsmokers’ rights – something you can fit in even while studying for exams, or immediately after exams.

Entrants compete for a $5,000 First Prize, $3,000 Second Prize, and $1,000 Third Prize, and the 30 finalists will all receive a travel grant to participate in the Seventh World Conference of Nonsmokers’ Rights in Washington, DC on June 12-13, 2010 where they can network with activists in the field. You can get more information from http://nosmokingcontest.org/.
