The Social and Environmental Responsibility World Forum, in partnership with the World Editor's Forum, are looking for the three top articles pertaining to social and environmental responsibility published around the world.

The following prizes will be awarded:
- A "non-specialist" prize - open to all articles on social and environmental responsibility;
- A prize for coverage on a specific topic chosen each year by the World Forum. This year's theme is "diversity and equal opportunities";
- A prize for the best article covering the press in developing countries.
Relevant articles must be published between 1 August 2006 and 31 July 2007.

Deadline for submissions is 24 August 2007. The results will be announced a month later, on 24 September.

Winners will receive a five-day trip to France and 1,000 Euros (US$1,380). They must attend the International Meeting on Diversity and Equal Opportunity in Lille on 23-25 October 2007.
