In Fall 2011, high school and college students worldwide were invited to submit original online video recitations, under 5 minutes in length, of a work from the Norton Anthologies. Finalists were selected for each of the works by W. W. Norton & Company editors.
One winner for each selection will be chosen by the public and a panel of Norton editors. Each winner will receive a $100 Barnes & Noble gift certificate and have his or her name featured on the acknowledgments page of a Norton Anthology.
To read more about the contest rules, including the list of selections allowed for the contest, please visit the original contest page.
