Eligibility
The Nature India essay competition is now open for scientists, researchers, writers or authors aged 25 to 50.
The essayists will have an opportunity to draft a compelling narrative with personal anecdotes, emotion and a science-backed story that may become potentially historic in helping shape the roadmap for India’s scientific future.
Nature invite thoughts on the societal impact of science in India in not more than 1000 words. Nature is looking for essays with an aspirational tone, emotions and story-telling without too much sentimentality. The essays should be reasoned, well-researched, forward-looking and supported by existing science. They should ideally be informative and entertaining in equal measure. Adding a personal perspective to the narration is desirable. Nature is not looking for academic papers, an academic writing style or science fiction.
Prizes
The top three essays will win cash prizes (Rs 40,000, Rs 30, 000 and Rs 20,000 or equivalent), a three-year subscription to Nature, trophies and certificates. Nature will also feature the essayists and their ideas in a Nature India podcast.
The deadline for completed essays is midnight, India time, on 9 March 2020.
