16th Annual Entertainment Law Initiative Writing Competition
In its sixteenth year, Entertainment Law Initiative (ELI), promotes discussion and debate on the most compelling legal issues facing the music industry today. The initiative also promotes future careers in entertainment law by seeking out the nation's top law students and giving them invaluable networking and educational opportunities. The scholarship is co-sponsored by the American Bar Association (ABA). The winning essays will be published by the GRAMMY Foundation, the ABA Forum on the Entertainment and Sports Industries, and a major law review or journal.
A national panel of music law experts will judge the papers in a blind process and select five finalists. Awards include: $5,000 for first place and $1,500 for each of four runners-up. All five finalists receive one GRAMMY Awards ticket, hotel accommodations, round trip airfare, one ticket to the Entertainment Law Initiative Luncheon, one ticket to MusiCares ® Person of the Year dinner, and an invitation to the GRAMMY Nominee Reception.
Winners will be announced on or before January 17, 2014.
Competition deadline is January 4, 2014 at 10am PST (1pm EST).
