Submit books and long-form journalism for the Eric Zencey Prize in Ecological Economics by Jan. 31 

The Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont and the U.S. Society of Ecological Economics invite submissions for the Eric Zencey Prize in Ecological Economics, which celebrates outstanding writing on the environmental limits of our finite planet. 

The winning author will receive $5,000 USD, plus financial support for a trip to the University of Vermont for a public campus event in Burlington, Vt. 

Named after pioneering scholar Eric Zencey (1954-2019), the prize recognizes the best book or long-form journalism that advances public understanding of real-world environmental challenges using the principles of ecological economics, a field that explores the relationships between economics and Earth’s limited natural resources.
