I offer $50 USD first prize and $25 for the runner-up for the best twelve paragraph essay on the topic of whether college students are likely to pay more in income taxes over their lifetime than the present value of the entire amount of their college tuition, room, and board expenses.
This contest is open only to the top 50% of participants in the Wikimedia Education Program or WikiEd Foundation's student editors.
If there are any objections to this contest, please let me know. If there are any reasons it shouldn't be communicated to the eligible, please let me know. I ask both foundations to match my award, taking the prizes to $150 and $75 if they agree. Thank you!
Sincerely, James Salsman
