Last year’s winner was Ann Palmer, a UK based author and teacher of creative writing. Entries should be on a theme of nature, deep ecology, spiritual ecology, or any work that has some element of nature woven into it. Submissions can be published or unpublished material, length to range between 500 and 2500 words per entry (poetry can be smaller). There is an entry fee of $12 and 1st prize of $500 with 2nd and 3rd prizes of $100 each. The closing date is 15 October, further details can be found at the Earth Vision website.
