Plus writers competition

Plus online maths magazine is looking for the science writers of the future who can make mathematics lively and interesting for a general audience. We are inviting all secondary and sixth form students to submit articles on mathematical topics or applications they think the world needs to know about.

The winning entries will be read by an international audience of over a hundred thousand in the June 2009 issue of Plus, and the winners will receive an iPod, subscriptions to the journal Nature, and signed copies of popular maths books by some of the best science writers today. The competition will be judged by three prominent mathematicians and science writers - judges in previous years have included the acclaimed mathematicians and writers Ian Stewart, John D Barrow and Marcus du Sautoy.

If you want to see this year's winning entries, go to http://plus.maths.org/issue47/index.html.

The closing date is March 31st 2009. If you think you can share your passion for maths with the general public, visit the competition page http://plus.maths.org/competition/index.html and get writing!!
