Now in its 34th year, CASW's Evert Clark/Seth Payne Award was created to recognise the contributions to journalism of Evert Clark and Seth Payne. The award aims to encourage young science writers by recognising outstanding reporting and writing in any field of science. The award is given in memory of Evert Clark, veteran journalist for Business Week, The New York Times and Newsweek, and Seth Payne, his long-time friend and colleague at Business Week and one of the founders of the award. It is intended to continue the work of both men, who offered friendship and advice to generations of young journalists.
