Judging CriteriaEntries may deal with aspects of basic or applied science or technology, historical or current, in any area including health, social or environmental issues, regulatory trends etc. Books will be judged on literary excellence and scientific content and accuracy. Specific judging criteria will include initiative, originality, clarity of interpretation and value in promoting greater understanding of science by the general reader. Books must be understandable to the layperson or children, with appropriate clarification of medical and scientific terminology, and an orderly marshalling of facts. Also the subject matter should be significant and relevant for the majority of the public or children, and so presented that it increases public awareness. Rules for SubmissionsThese will change from year-to-year. Please visit the current year's awards page to see these rules.

Its goal is to generate excitement and interest in Canada’s online science community and to celebrate science presented in digital formats on Canadian sites. Starting as a collaboration with Science Borealis, this award has one objective: to find Canada's favourite science site or blog! The award has changed a lot over these past few years, but we are proud to host it. For all nominees and winners, this award is about promotion through our digital platforms, exposure to 1000+ voters and bragging rights. NominationS
