The Grumpy Vegan is a big fan of Lantern Books, which publishes books on animal advocacy, spirituality, social justice and environmentalism. Lantern published the two Animals’ Agenda anthologies that I edited and is the host company for this Web site. They’ve published many important books and host the terrific Super Vegan Web site.
Lantern recently announced their 2006 essay competition. Its aim is to allow new thinking to emerge on the key subjects of Lantern’s publishing program and to encourage new voices to step forward to shape the debate for the future.
The first prize is $1,000. There is no entry fee. Essays should be no longer than 1500 words. The deadline is December 31, 2006. Complete guidelines, as well as last year’s winning essays, can be found here.
I’m proud to have been one of the judges in last year’s inaugural competition.
