Announcing Finalists for the Young Voices Award

Last year, Young Voices launched what we aim to be an annual recognition of excellence in pro-liberty advocacy for writers under 30: the Young Voices Award. I am thrilled to announce the nominees for the 2019 Young Voices Award, to be given away at our Third Anniversary Party on Thursday, May 2nd in Washington, DC.The nominees are: Matthew Larosiere, Molly Davis, and Jerrod Laber. All three have served as Young Voices contributors for over a year, securing prominent media placements discussing important issues of our day.As part of their candidacy, each finalist submitted writing samples to be sent to a panel of judges for picking the winner. Here's some of their best Young Voices hits:

• Matthew Larosiere — "What Will Happen When People Can 3-D Print Their Own Guns?," published in Playboy on July 31, 2018
• Molly Davis — "Utah Just Became a Leader in Digital Privacy," published in Wired on March 22, 2019
• Jerrod Laber — "The Moral Conceit of Our Post-9/11 Politics," published in The American Conservative on September 12, 2018

The winner will be selected by a panel of noted judges in journalism: Katherine Mangu-Ward, editor-in-chief of Reason magazine, Matt Kibbe, president of Free the People, and Kristen Soltis Anderson, Washington Examiner columnist.I hope you can join us to celebrate Young Voices' network of writers and raise a toast to the winner next week!
