The GRAMMY Foundation has launched its 12th Annual Entertainment Law Initiative Essay Competition, co-sponsored by the American Bar Association, a program that will award more than $10,000 in scholarships to promising entertainment law students.
The ELI Essay Competition invites law students to write a 3,000-word paper on a compelling legal topic facing the music industry today. The contest culminates with the winning student authors presenting their essays at the prestigious ELI luncheon during GRAMMY Week on Jan. 29, 2010. Additionally, each winner will receive airfare, hotel accommodations, and a ticket to the MusiCares Person of the Year tribute gala honoring Neil Young on Jan. 29, the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards telecast in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, as well as invitations to other GRAMMY Week activities.
Submissions must be postmarked by Jan. 4, and winners will be announced on Jan.22. For complete contest rules and more information, send an e-mail to eli@grammy.com or click here.
