3rd Biophilia Award for Environmental Communication

The Biophilia Award for Environmental Communication recognizes the work of professionals and organizations in any country that have contributed exceptionally to improving public understanding and awareness of ecological issues, through the dissemination of scientific knowledge and by opening up new perspectives on nature from any disciplinary angle.

These contributions may encompass a wide spectrum of formats, styles, and channels, including articles, monographs, multimedia materials and books; the preparation, editing and presentation of reports and documentaries; the design and curatorship of exhibitions; and projects in any medium (press, radio, television, film, documentary or Internet).

They should preferably, though not exclusively, be directed at a global audience, and those with a more limited focus (regional or national) should, in any case, have achieved a broad impact.

Requirements:

• Natural or legal persons of any nationality engaging professionally in any facet of environmental communication.
• Joint entries will be accepted from two or more natural or legal persons that have made collaborative contributions in environmental dissemination and communication.
• Candidatures may be direct, submitted by the interested parties, or indirect, with other natural or legal persons presenting letters of nomination.
