Sweatshop essay contest, must be 25 or younger

[ant]

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I found this site and figured it's an "event" the younger DUers might be interested in:

The essay contest question is:

Read the linked New York Times Magazine article written by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.

Develop an argument that rejects OR defends the claims the authors make about sweatshops. Your essay--which should be longer than 600 words, but no more than 2500 words--may touch on any of the themes the authors raise in the article. Your essay may also address any other examples/relevant issues or ideas that you think the authors have neglected.

As for who is eligible, the site states:
Entrants must be full-time students of any age (graduate students or undergraduates) during the 2003-2004 school year or be 25 years old or younger as of December 1, 2003. High School students are not eligible to enter this contest.

I'd love to sink my teeth into this, but unfortunately I've got too many papers to write for school already. The deadline is Dec. 1 and prizes are:
First Prize: $5,000
Second Prize: $2,500
Third Prize: $1,500
Honorable Mention: Four prizes of $250 each.

Good luck!
