Welcome to Week Eight of our 12th Annual Summer Reading Contest. This contest is open to students 11-19 from anywhere in the world. To participate, submit a response by 9 a.m. Eastern on Aug. 6 that answers the questions “What got your attention in The New York Times this week? Why?”If you are 13 or older and live in the United States, or 16 or older from anywhere else in the world, post your response in the comment section. Because all links to Times content from the student features on our site are free, every week we’ll try to help by posting interesting pieces from a variety of sections.
