Any week or every week during the 10 weeks from June 7 to Aug. 16 that this contest runs, all you have to do to participate is tell us what you’re reading, watching or listening to in The New York Times and why. Don’t have a subscription? No problem! We’ll be providing dozens of free links to teen-friendly articles, essays, videos, podcasts and graphics every week. And this summer, both to celebrate the contest’s 15th year and to shake things up a bit, we’ll be trying something new: Students can enter as they always have by submitting a short written response — or they can make a video up to 90 seconds long. Got questions? We have answers.
