Science Journalism Awards

Entries are being accepted for the 2008 AAAS Science Journalism Awards.

The awards recognize outstanding reporting for a general audience and honour individuals, rather than institutions, publishers or employers, for their coverage of the sciences, engineering and mathematics.

Since their inception in 1945, the awards have honoured more than 300 individuals for their achievements in science journalism.

Independent screening and judging committees select the winning journalists and their entries based on scientific accuracy, initiative, originality, clarity of interpretation and value in fostering a better understanding of science by the public.

Committees composed of reporters, editors and scientists screen and judge the entries.
The awards will be presented at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Chicago in February 2009.

The award for each category is $3,000.

AAAS will reimburse winners for reasonable travel and hotel expenses. In cases of multiple authors or producers, only one person's travel expenses will be covered.

The 2008 contest year is July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008

All entries must be postmarked on or before midnight of August 1, 2008.
