6. The Fourth Annual New York
Times Summer Reading Contest
June 14 to Aug. 16, 2013
you can write in and tell us what you’re reading in The NY Times, and explain why it
interested you. We don’t care what you choose or whether you loved or hated it;
what we care about is what you have to say about why you picked it. You can choose
from anything published in the print paper or on NYTimes.com in 2013. And yes,
videos, graphics, slide shows and podcasts count. (In fact, one of our winners last
summer wrote about a photo.) Feel free to participate each week, but we allow only
one submission per person per week.
**The contest is open to teenagers only-- anyone from 13 to 19 years old.
Complete contest rules can be downloaded from the PSMS library website under
contests and activities.
