CBHL Annual Literature Award

Created in 2000, the CBHL Annual Literature Award is given by CBHL to both the author and publisher of works that makes a significant contribution to the literature of botany or horticulture.  The awards are presented at CBHL's Annual Meeting.  The purpose is to:

• Recognize works that makes a significant contribution to the literature of botany or horticulture;
• Increase the visibility of CBHL;
• Encourage participation by the CBHL community in recognizing significant contributions to the literature of the field.

Works will be judged by members of the Annual Literature Award Committee according to the following criteria:

• Accuracy
• Clarity
• Organization and presentation of information
• Uniqueness of the contribution to the literature of the field
• Excellence of intellectual content
• Design and composition of the work

The committee encourages nominations that honor diversity, equity and inclusion. We also believe these concepts intersect with the current science of climate change and give consideration to how a nominee helps bring these topics forward.
