would anyone consider writing a 500 word proposal for an essay -
let's discuss next time - 'tosh' by the way in British english
means 'rubbish, ' balderdash' 'babble' as it the oft'heard
dismissal of James Joyce as a 'load of tosh' -

2005 ARCHVOICES ESSAY COMPETITION FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
ArchVoices has announced its third annual essay competition for young professionals. The 2005 ArchVoices Essay Competition is intended to encourage, promote, and reward critical thinking and writing--—two traditionally underemphasized areas of architectural education and training.
Between February 11 and March 18, young professionals are invited to submit a 500-word essay proposal, reflecting on their daily experiences as the newest members and future leaders of the architecture profession. Selected semifinalists will be invited to develop a 2,000-word essay, further exploring the ideas from their first submittal. The 2005 competition jurors include: § Maurice Cox, Loeb Fellow & Past Mayor of Charlottesville; Jessica Farrar, Member, Texas House of Representatives; Ambassador Richard Swett, FAIA, Former Congressman & U.S. Ambassador to Denmark; Jessica Wendover, Assoc. AIA, Rose Architectural Fellow.
As in past years, the author of the first place essay will receive a cash prize of $981, equal to the base cost of the Architect Registration Exam (ARE), and a comprehensive set of ARE study materials, valued at over $1,500, compliments of Kaplan AEC Education. The author of the second place essay will receive an Apple iPod, complements of Architosh. Up to five honorable mentions may also be conferred, and those honorees will receive prizes donated by John Wiley & Sons, Kaplan AEC Education, and Architecture magazine. The top ten finalists will receive a 1-year subscription to The Architect's Newspaper, and all semifinalists will receive a copy of the 2005 Almanac of Architecture & Design, compliments of the Design Futures Council. Additional Reader's Choice winners selected by a public vote will receive book selections donated by Princeton Architectural Press.
The competition will be conducted entirely online at www.archvoices.org/competition. The website provides the competition calendar and additional information on eligibility, submission guidelines, frequently asked questions, and writing resources.
