The Grantham Prize for Environmental Journalism

Encouraging Exceptional Environmental Journalism

Each year the Grantham Prize Jury may select up to three entries to receive Awards of Special Merit. Each entry recognized in this category receives US$5,000, and there is no ranking among the recipients of this honor. The prize jury typically uses the Awards of Special Merit to highlight work that goes beyond the norm for its medium.
