2007 Winner:
The Forum is pleased to announce that the winner of the Journal Writing Competition is Adam Lubow, Brooklyn School of Law.

Eligibility:
Open to all students currently enrolled in law school.

Topic:
Papers should address any legal issue regarding affordable housing and/or community development law.

Submission Requirements:
Entries must be original, unpublished work. Articles should be between 25-50 double-spaced pages and should include endnotes rather than footnotes. The page limit includes the endnotes.  However, if an entry extends slightly beyond 50 pages, it will not be categorically rejected. The definition of "slightly" is left to one’s discretion--compliance with the page limit requirement is an evaluation factor whose weight will vary depending upon the evaluator.
There is no entry form of any kind. A title page should be attached and must contain the title of the submission, the student's name, and the student's contact information including street address, phone number(s), and email address.

Award:
Submissions will be blindly evaluated by a committee of Forum members.  The best paper as judged by the selection committee will be awarded a prize of $1,000 and a trip to attend the 17th Forum's Annual Conference, May 21-23, 2008, in Washington, D.C., airfare and lodging included*.

The winning essay may also be published in the Journal of Affordable Housing and Community Development Law.

Date:
All entries must be postmarked by March 1, 2008.
