The James Cropper Wainwright Prize

The James Cropper Wainwright Prize is named after nature writer Alfred Wainwright. The prizes are awarded to the work which best reflects Wainwright’s core values and include a celebration of nature and our natural environment or a warning of the dangers to it across the globe.

In 2022 there are three prize categories: Nature Writing, Writing on Conservation, and Children’s Writing on Nature & Conservation. The prize shortlists will be announced on 28 July and the winners’ announcement will be made live on 7 September at The London Wetland Centre. Find out more...
