Student contest: 2024 Babel Young Writers' Competition

This year, Babel: The Language Magazine <https://babelzine.co.uk/> will be running the tenth edition of our Young Writers' Competition, which encourages young linguists who are starting out on their study of language.
The competition is open to anyone studying a linguistics-related subject at the 16–18-year-old or undergraduate level.  The winner(s) will have their article published in Babel's 50th issue (Spring 2025) and receive a year's subscription to the magazine.
Keep an eye on @Babelzine on X or @babel_zine on Instagram for inspiration from previous winners on topics ranging from sign language to spoonerisms, and from language birth to language death.
