Vote for the Australian entry in the international Earth Journalism Awards

Posted on by

Dear ASCers,

As some of you know, John Pickrell, Deputy Editor of COSMOS magazine, was one of the 15 regional winners of the international Earth Journalism Award. The lucky sod got himself a two-week trip to attend the U.N. climate change summit in Copenhagen, which is where he is now.

Along with other regional winners, he’s in the running to win the people’s choice award, which is determined by an online vote. *John is the only Australian entrant, and he needs our support! *

To read the story, got to http://awards.earthjournalism.org/finalist/oceans-acid-australia

*Voting is EASY.* Follow this link and you get three votes with the website, or through Facebook and Twitter. See details at:

If you like John’s article – on the peril the Great Barrier Reef faces from ocean acidification – follow the links and vote. Voting closes in on Sunday, when IPCC Chair Rajendra Pachauri and other dignitaries will present the awards at at a ceremony at the Danish Radio Hall. So hurry!

Cheers,

Wilson da Silva Editor of COSMOS (*not* in Copenhagen at all)

  1. Thanks Amanda – and thanks everyone for the nice comments. (Sorry about posting the response to Meg across to everyone).

    We’re all very proud of John and rooting for him. The leading vote winner so far is a Brazilian, and they seem to have rounded up quite a lot of online votes. But here’s hoping – we’re still got three days.

    Cheers

    Wilson

  2. Seems to work fine for me – is your CSIRO firewall blocking it? Lots of corporates block anything that’s tagged as a blog or social media, which this is.
