THE DANIEL SINGER
MILLENNIUM PRIZE
The Daniel Singer Millennium Prize Foundation annually recognizes an original essay that helps further socialist ideas in the tradition of Daniel Singer. Please see our Statement of Principles.
The 2008 Daniel Singer Millennium Prize of $5,000 is being shared by two winners: Margaret Morganroth Gullette, Resident Scholar at the Women's Study Research Center, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, for "The Contagion of Euphoria"; and Hugo Radice, Life Fellow in Politics and International Study at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, for "1968 and the Idea of Socialism."
The 2009 prize will be $2,500 and will be awarded for the best essay, of no more than 5,000 words, exploring the question: "The global economic crisis has revealed capitalism's inability to meet the needs of the vast majority of the world's population. Given the experience of the last century, how can a case for socialism be made?"
Essays may be submitted in English, Spanish or French and will be judged by an international panel of distinguished scholars and activists. The winner will be announced in December 2009.
Submissions must be received no later than July 31, 2009. Essays can be mailed to:
The Daniel Singer Millennium Prize Foundation
P.O. Box 2371, El Cerrito, CA 94530
Essays can also be e-mailed.
