Here’s an amazing opportunity for environmental writers focused on the South:
The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) announced a call for entries to the 2025 Phillip D. Reed Environmental Writing Award program. The Reed Award celebrates writers who achieve both literary excellence and offer extraordinary insight into the South’s natural treasures and environmental challenges.
Each year, two awards are presented to recognize outstanding writing in the following areas:
- Book Category for works of nonfiction (not self-published)
- Journalism Category for newspaper, magazine, and digital writing published by a recognized institution such as a news organization, university, or nonprofit group
- Nominations are welcome from anyone, including readers, authors, and publishers.
The deadline is October 1st.
