The Royal Societies of Australia (RSA) offers a national approach to intellectual discourse in Australia through the promotion of the individual, state-based Royal Societies. We aim to support a National Culture of Creativity and Knowledge. To this end, The Royal Societies of Australia (RSA) partnered with the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Ap rangi and with the generous support of the Creative Force Foundation from the United States, to offer a prize of AUD10,000 for significant writing by a younger person on social change. This new annual award, the Bruce Piasecki and Andrea Masters Award on Business and Society Writing, seeks to inspire future generations to become catalysts for a better more just society. It recognises dynamic nonfiction writers between 18 and 45 years of age in the Australasia/Oceania Region who aim to ignite positive social change through published work on any theme exploring key business and society issues. Themes include, but are not limited to, climate change, racial/gender equality, sustainability, innovation, and new approaches to lessen war and social stresses.
