The Matt Ridley Prize is open to everyone

The 2013 Matt Ridley Prize is now open. Click here for more details.


We’ve already had some entries for the £8,500 Matt Ridley Prize for Environmental Heresy, and an inquiry as to whether it’s open to non-British residents. Misunderstanding of science and environment is, alas, a global phenomenon and CoffeeHousers hail from all over the world. So it’s open to everyone. The condition is a piece of 1,000 to 2,000 words which gores one of the sacred cows of the green
movement — using facts to confront myths, and science to confront pseudo-science.

The winning article will be published in The Spectator. Read Matt Ridley’s piece, laying out the scope of the prize, here.
