Established in September 2005, the Grantham Prize for Excellence in Reporting on the Environment [1]
— the largest journalism prize in North America — honors exemplary reporting on the environment by journalists in the United States and Canada. A $75,000 cash award will be awarded annually to one journalist or a team of journalists for non-fiction originally published, broadcast, or posted online, whose work exemplifies extraordinary coverage of environmental and/or natural resource issues and has the potential to bring about constructive change. The prize was created by The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, and is administered by the Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting. Deadlines: Books: January 9, 2012; other works: January 30, 2012.
