Waterman Fund Alpine Essay Contest

Have you ever considered writing an essay about your experiences in the mountains? Or, do you already have some? The Waterman Fund is seeking submissions on life in the mountains of the northeastern Unites States for its annual essay contest. Topics can range from personal stories about hiking experiences, scientific essays on topics such as global warming, or the relationship between people and wildness. The winning piece will be published in “Appalachia Journal” and receive $1,500! The Waterman Fund’s objective is to strengthen the human stewardship of the open summits, exposed ridgelines, and alpine areas of the Northeast.
