THE DANIEL SINGER
PRIZE: $5,000
The Daniel Singer Millennium Prize Foundation annually recognizes an original essay which helps further socialist ideas in the tradition of Daniel Singer. Please see our Statement of Principles.
The 2007 Daniel Singer Millennium Prize has been awarded to Arthur Mitzman, of the Netherlands, for his essay titled "The Eco-Socialist Challenge."
The 2008 prize will be given for the best essay, of no more than 5,000 words, exploring the question: "What recent event or political process that you have participated in, witnessed or studied has given you inspiration and confidence that 'a better world is possible' and why do you think the fight for a better world will succeed?"
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 2008.
Submissions must be received no later than Saturday, August 30, 2008. Essays can be mailed to:
