Hi everyone, Apologies for providing so much listserv excitement at the start of the summer. Here is an update on the Sprout Award and its requirements, written after checking with the ISA Awards body, the Sprout Committee, and others.
The recipient of the Sprout Award must, in fact, be an ISA member. As Sammy said, ISA phased this requirement in at some point that no one seems to know. ISA now enforces this inescapably by not writing award checks to anyone who is not a member. However, the Sprout Committee and the ESS have agreed that the section will pay for ISA membership for the winner if necessary, on a provisional basis, so we will be looking widely for a winning selection. In practice, most past winners have been ISA members. Beyond that, I've had queries from a couple of people about sending us books in page proof form or something similar. The Sprout Committee policy is to consider only books actually published in book form by August 1 for reasons of manageability (we review ~90 books) and because the book can be submitted in the following year. So, do encourage your presses to send us your books if you have published on environmental politics between January 2013 and August 2014. Instructions are here: http://www.isanet.org/ProgramsResources/Awards/HaroldMargaretSprout.asp Thanks for your interest in the prize. Now everyone can go back to their gin and tonics and/or finishing up their books for a future Sprout award.
