Deadline: 15 December 2011
WOLFoundation runs an annual competition looking for the best non-technical, English language writing on any subject related to environmental issues. Entries will be judged by the members of our Advisory Board. The winning entry will receive a cash prize of $1,500. A further $500 will be awarded to the second placed entry. The top 20 entries will be published as a book of collected essays.
What we are looking for
Our judging process will reward two main attributes in the submissions received: fresh thinking and a clear, compelling writing style. We are looking for entries that everyone will want to read.
All viewpoints welcome
Any and all views are welcome and encouraged. We would like to see entries that address all perspectives - whether for or against any particular stance. Just avoid giving us tired ideas that have been hashed out many times before.
Fact or fiction?
Entries should be written in prose in the English language. You can submit essays or short stories, factual commentary or fiction - whichever way and whichever writing style you choose to communicate your ideas. Just make it compelling.
Who can enter?
Everyone is welcome
What to submit
Essays should be aimed at a general readership and should be non-technical. No footnotes or citations are allowed.
Submissions should be no longer than 3,000 words
Publication
Submissions may not have been published before and may not be submitted elsewhere until the results of the annual competition are announced.
When to submit
Submissions for the 2011 competition should be submitted by email no later than December 15th 2011. Winners will be announced March 1st, 2012.
Entry to the competition is free of charge.
