We're pleased to invite undergraduate and graduate university students to apply for The New York Times 2020 Win-a-Trip contest. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Nicholas Kristof has been holding the contest since 2006, and the winner will join him on a reporting trip to a country or region facing development challenges.

Co-hosted with the Center for Global Development, the aim of the prize is to generate interest in neglected global issues, and the winner will also have the opportunity to write for The New York Times.

Writers of color, women, LGBTQ+ students, conservatives, liberals, artists, athletes, veterans—we want to hear from all of you!
