Royal Society seeks best science books of 2011

Entries are being accepted by the Royal Society for two of the world’s most prestigious awards for science writing.

Publishers are invited to submit their best science books for a non-specialist adult audience to the 2012 Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books and their best books communicating science to young people to the Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize.

The 2012 Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books prize is open to science books written for a non-specialist audience. The winner will receive £10,000 and the authors of the short listed books £1,000.

Books submitted for the prize must have been published for the first time in English during 2011 and be available to buy in the United Kingdom.

The 2012 Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize will celebrate the best books published in 2011 that communicate science to young people.

The winner will receive £10,000 and the authors of the short listed books £1,000. The Prize is open to books in which science is a substantial aspect of the book’s content, narrative or theme.

Books submitted must be written for young people aged up to 14 years and first published for the first time in English in 2011.

For both prizes, an online entry form must be completed for each entry, and seven non-returnable copies of each entry submitted.

Closing date for entries is February 6, 2012.
