4. Call for Entries ­ Essay & Photo Contest: China in My Eyes

The members of Lenovo Project IMUSE 2008, a non-profit program founded by a
group of Harvard students and sponsored by Lenovo Computers, would like to
inform you of a national essay contest open to all North American
undergraduates.

Officially approved by the Beijing Olympics Committee and supported by the
Harvard Asia Center, IMUSE has designed the "China in My Eyes" creative work
competition to encourage individual students to share their own views on
modern China either in an essay or through photography. A group of
university professors on IMUSE's advisory board will select winners who may
choose between two grand prizes: an all-expenses-paid two-week trip to
Beijing and the opportunity to work as specially trained 2008 Beijing
Olympics volunteers before and during the Olympics, or a new Lenovo laptop.
There is no cost to apply.  More details about this competition and IMUSE
2008 may be found at: http://www.imuse2008.org/competition.php.  Also, they
encourage you to take the survey on the website on the most important issues
facing China today. Survey participants are entered into a raffle to win
free round-trip tickets to China, as well as other souvenirs from the
Beijing Olympics.
