“Words in Place,” from the University of Waterloo’s English Department, is announcing our first ever One Sentence English Contest!

(We’re calling the contest OneSEC, because that’s how long it will take you to submit the shortest academic application ever.)

The OneSEC prize is for the best single sentence in an academic essay in a peer-reviewed journal in 2014 by a scholar trained or nested in English. How is “best” defined? The judges are academics, so through peer review by a disparate group of scholars with competing priorities, naturally.  *No affiliation with the University of Waterloo is required.
