Dear Red Lions,

Winter has finally arrived and TD is definitely in winter wonderland mode.  This week’s “photo of the week” comes from TD Resident Fellow Lisa Bajwa and is titled “Snow Lions” and features some of the TD children – Octavio, Luqman, and Aya – and a stunning lion sculpture!  Thank you, Lisa!

For Fiction and Non-Fiction


The Prize:

The editors of the Yale Daily News Magazine would like to invite you to apply for the Wallace Prize, the most prestigious independently awarded undergraduate writing prize for fiction and non-fiction at Yale. Winners will receive a substantial cash prize and winning submissions in each category will be published in a special issue of the Yale Daily News Magazine.

Submissions Procedure:

The cover sheet is attached to this email. Cover sheets are also available in the foyer of the Yale Daily News building (202 York Street), across the street from Jonathan Edwards College. The building is generally open from 7 PM onwards Sunday through Thursday evenings. Sheets will also be available in the English Department office.

Entrants must submit four copies of each piece to the Wallace Prize box in the foyer of the Yale Daily News building by MARCH 8, at 5 p.m. No late entries will be accepted. Please do not put your name anywhere on the submissions except on the cover sheet.

Judges are professionals drawn from the fields of academia and journalism, and have no connection to the Yale Daily News. The specific division of funds will be distributed to the top winners according to the discretion of the judges.

The Fine Print:

•   Each submission must be between six and twenty double-spaced pages in length.

•   Each entrant may submit up to three previously unpublished pieces of fiction or non-fiction.

•   By unpublished, we mean that pieces may not have been printed in any campus or professional publication. Winning submissions have been disqualified in past years for failure to comply with this rule.

•   Special to non-fiction: The Magazine reserves the right to revoke the prize from a recipient who has not made reasonable attempts to uphold professional standards of accuracy. After winners have been selected, the Magazine may request to see notes on sources and research for the piece.

•   All undergraduates currently enrolled as full-time students in Yale College are eligible to enter except previous winners.

•   The Yale Daily News Magazine will print winning pieces as written. All submissions will be considered to be in their final, finished form. The Magazine reserves the right to disqualify pieces with numerous grammatical and spelling errors.

•   All work will be published under the writer’s real name. No awards will be given to writers who wish to publish under pseudonyms.

•   The Wallace Prize is awarded annually in memory of Peter J. Wallace ’64, a former member of the Yale Daily News editorial board. It is endowed by the Peter Wallace Memorial Fund and is presented in conjunction with the Yale Daily News Magazine.
