The award will honor quality, clarity, and effectiveness in institutional science writing produced by staff or freelance writers and carries a cash prize of $2,000. Eligibility is platform-independent: Entries could include press releases, news stories, feature stories, magazine articles, web content, audio or video scripts, and similar materials. Entries for work produced in the 2017 calendar year will open in 2018, so finish the year strong and plan to enter your best work. Official rules and call for entries will be announced in early 2018 at
