To increase awareness of women’s ongoing contributions to the mathematical sciences AWM and Math for America are cosponsoring an essay contest for biographies of contemporary women mathematicians and statisticians in academic, industrial, and government careers. Each essay will be based primarily on an interview with a woman currently working in a mathematical sciences career. This contest is open to students in the following categories: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, and College Undergraduate. At least one winning submission will be chosen from each category. Winners will receive a monetary prize, and their essays will be published online at the AWM website. Additionally, a grand prize winner will have his or her submission published in the AWM newsletter.
