The short list will be announced in March 2021, and the winners will be announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2021. The award in each of the four categories will be comprised of a monetary award of $500 to the author and $500 to the illustrator/photographer (or $1,000 if the author and illustrator/photographer is the same person).
The Nature Generation, an environmental nonprofit, created the annual Green Earth Book Award in 2005 to promote books that inspire children to grow a deeper appreciation, respect, and responsibility for their natural environment.
