must propose in writing via email a gutsy and worthwhile adventure
in the spirit of Delaying the Real World and the young
adventurers who fill the book. The essay should include a proposal
of postponing the 9-5 grind. There is no time length requirement
on your adventure, though the fellowship committee will take into
account how well the proposed idea maximizes the $2,500 grant.
The winner
must begin the fellowship within three months of the award date
and be willing to report any fellowship-related escapades back
to the fellowship committee, including occasional photographic
evidence. The winner will be selected on the basis of the ingenuity

time and date to attend a dinner with Colleen Kinder and the fellowship
committee in New York City. The fellowship committee (Running
Press & Colleen Kinder) will notify the winner by May 5th.
