We’re delighted to announce the winners of The Nation’s sixth annual Student Writing Contest!  Congratulations to Bryce Wilson Stucki, an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, and Hannah Moon, a 2011 graduate of Brooklyn College Academy in Brooklyn, New York and to our ten finalists! The winners each receive a cash award of $1,000; the finalists receive $200 each. All receive Nation subscriptions.

We received hundreds of submissions from high school and college students in forty-one states. Read the winners now.
