The Perlman and Sullivan awards each honor specific stories reported by journalists in the past year (i.e., 2015 awards honor 2014 stories). Journalists are welcome to nominate their own work for these awards, or someone may nominate a story on the reporter’s behalf. Each award consists of a plaque and a $5,000 stipend.

For the Perlman and Sullivan awards, nominations may be from any country, in any language (English translation required), and in any news medium, except books. Entries will be judged by how well they meet one or more of the following three criteria: Brings new information or concepts about AGU sciences to the public’s attention, identifies and corrects misconceptions about AGU sciences, and makes AGU sciences accessible and interesting to general audiences, without sacrificing accuracy.

The Cowen Award celebrates a career of outstanding reporting on Earth and space sciences. Only AGU members may submit nominations for the award, which is presented no more often than every two years. The Cowen Award consists of a glass globe on a base with an engraved plate.

The deadline to submit nominations for AGU’s 2015 journalism awards is 15 March 2015. AGU will present the awards on 16 December 2015 at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
