The Bruce Piasecki and Andrea Masters Annual Award on Business and Society Writing, an award that will honor young writers whose work discusses business and positive social change, has launched and is open to submissions.
The award will come with a $5,000 prize and is open to writers between the ages of 18 and 35 who have published at least one relevant essay, research paper, book or article prior to the submission deadline of August 15, 2021. The published works should reflect how business can promote positive social change and can include themes such as climate change, racial and gender equality, sustainability and innovation, but are not limited to those themes.
