The *Young Naturalist Awards*, a program from the American Museum of 
Natural History and sponsored by Alcoa Foundation, is a research-based 
essay contest for students in grades 7 – 12 to promote participation and 
communication in science.

Young people who enter conduct their own investigations on a topic in 
the field of biology, ecology, Earth science or, astronomy. They plan 
their own scientific expeditions during which they identify questions, 
form hypotheses, collect data, make observations, and draw conclusions 
Students present their findings in narrative essays that include 
illustrations, photographs, maps, graphs, and bibliographies.

This year’s guidelines have been updated and are now posted on our web 
site at: www.amn.org/youngnaturalistawards. The deadline for the 2007 
contest is April 1, 2007. The top two winners in each grade will receive 
scholarship awards and an expenses-paid trip to attend the award 
ceremony at the Museum next June.
