The Wainwright Prize recognises the power of words to shape a greener future, celebrating the books that help us see the natural world, and our place within it, more clearly. From personal journeys through wild landscapes to bold investigations into environmental challenges, these are the stories that connect people and planet.

Spanning three categories, the awards honour original voices and striking visual storytelling inspiring us to care more deeply for the world around us. Together, they champion the art of noticing, understanding, and protecting the natural world.
