The Lane Anderson
Award
honours the very best science writing in Canada today, both in
the adult and young-reader categories. Each award will be
determined on the relevance of its content to the importance of
science in today’s world, and the author’s ability to connect the
topic to the interests of the general trade reader.”
The annual Lane
Anderson Award honours two jury-selected books, in the
categories of adult and young-reader, published in the field of
science, and written by a Canadian.
The winner in each
category will receive $10,000. Two three-person jury panels drawn
from the Canadian academic, publishing, creative and institutional
fields will review submissions in the two categories.
The jury will be announced with the winners at an event in Toronto
in mid
September.
Closing date for
submissions is April 30th 2012 for books published in 2011. A
