Digital Scholars Essay Contest

Cengage Learning, a major education publisher, is sponsoring an essay writing contest for anyone enrolled in a SUNY school during the Fall 2013 semester. Two $250 prizes will be handed out in the undergraduate category and submissions must be submitted electronically by December 15th.

The contest's  purpose is to encourage students  to use advanced databases like Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) and Nineteenth Century Collections Online (NCCO), so Cengage is providing free access to those resources, as well as other digital collections of primary sources through its new search platform for the humanities, Artemis.

More information on the contest is at 2013 SUNY-wide 18th and 19th century digital scholars essay contest. Links to the databases are on that page.
