We've been asked to let people know that The Eric Breindel Memorial Foundation is now accepting applications for its 8th Annual Eric Breindel Award, given to columnists in the United States whose writings have demonstrated " love of country and its democratic institutions as well as the act of bearing witness to the evils of totalitarianism."

Past winners include Claudia Rosett, Daniel Henninger, Michael Kelly (posthumously); Jeff Jacoby, Jay Nordlinger, and Victor Davis Hanson.

A single prize of $20,000 will be awarded in June of this year. Applications are due by April 21. For more details contact Germaine Febles via email at  gfebles@Rubenstein.com.
