Welcome to Week Three of our Tenth Annual Summer Reading Contest.
To participate, just post a comment here by 9 a.m. Eastern on July 5 that answers the questions “What interested you most in The Times this week? Why?”
What should you choose? Well, as you know from the rules we’ve posted, you can pick anything published on NYTimes.com in 2019, including articles, essays, Op-Eds, videos, photos, podcasts or infographics.
So what did you read, watch or listen to this week?
We hope you’ll click around NYTimes.com and find your own great articles, features and multimedia, but we know that not everyone who participates has a Times subscription. 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.
Or, maybe you discovered articles in the other sections like …
Here Is Every 2020 Democrat, Roasted by Haiku

Whatever caught your eye, tell us about it in the comments.
Need more details? The contest rules are all here, and you can read the work of last year’s winners here. A quick overview, though:
• You can choose from anything published in the print paper or on NYTimes.com in 2019, including videos, graphics and photographs. (In your response, please include the URL or headline of the piece you pick.)
• We’ll post this question each Friday from today through Aug. 16, and you’ll have until the next Friday morning to respond with your picks. Then we’ll close that post and open a new one with the same question.
• We’ll choose at least one favorite answer to feature on our site each week. Winners from this week will be announced on July 16.
• Feel free to participate each week, but we allow only one submission per person per week.
• New for 2019: Students in the United States and the United Kingdom must be between 13 to 19 years old to participate. However, if you are submitting from anywhere else in the world, you must be between 16 to 19 years old. Please see The New York Times’s terms of service for more details.

While this is the only Student Opinion question we’ll be asking this summer, here is our section that features hundreds of writing prompts still open to comment.
