UW-Madison students have the opportunity to win a dinner with the editor in chief of The Onion by submitting stories to a writing contest hosted by the popular satire newspaper, which was founded by two UW-Madison alumni.
Students can submit stories through Wednesday at 4 p.m., of which three will be selected as winners to have dinner with current Editor in Chief Joe Garden and former Editor in Chief Carol Kolb Monday, Dec. 5.
Contestants can e-mail stories, which must be 300 words or less, to DLS@union.wisc.edu with "Onion Contest Submission" in the subject line.
Following the dinner, Garden and Kolb will give a free lecture called "An Evening with The Onion" in the Memorial Union Theater at 7:30 p.m. The lecture is part of the Wisconsin Union Directorate's Distinguished Lecture Series.
UW-Madison students, faculty, staff and Union members with a valid university or Wisconsin Union ID can receive tickets for the lecture at the Wisconsin Union Theater Box. Remaining tickets will be made available to the public Thursday.
