SAGE MAGAZINE is looking for new ideas and perspectives on the environment. Open to all non-professional writers, Sage’s first annual young environmental writers contest seeks previously unpublished works of art that deal with nature, the environment, sustainable living and natural resource issues.  Send us essays, short stories, memoirs, graphic novels, sky-writing – all forms of environmental writing accepted (including excerpts from longer works).

Winners and finalists will be published online and, when possible, in our annual print publication. A panel of professional environmental journalists will preside over final selection.

First Prize will win  $500, Second Prize $300, Third Prize $200.

All entries due by April 20th, 2012, at midnight,
Eastern Standard Time.

All Finalists will be published online or in our annual print publication
