Winners will comprise the best potential co-authors for future EV material, as judged by EV author, Josef Graf. - either donate $12 through the link below - or purchase two or more E-books from the five available on the site - then email your entry through the address below, as either a Word, or PDF document. - enter "EV contest" on the subject line of your email - and remember to attach your entry. - include a cover page with title, contact, and author information, plus a short biography.

Neither winners, nor the EV author, are bound in any way to enter into a co-writing agreement. That option would only proceed under full mutual agreement between both parties.

The Earth Vision website presents spiritual ecology, the interweave of nature and humanity, by addressing current issues, as well as through five books that open the reader's perspective by means of the following approaches to eco-spirituality: geographic; seasonal; art, history/reincarnation, and humor. Visit the site at www.evbooks.net Or email nature author Josef Graf at josefgrafev@yahoo.ca

Dubbed "a modern Thoreau" by one reviewer, Josef Graf's diverse background was bound to culminate in the Earth Vision project. A split degree in Sociology/Ecology was followed by work as a trail guide, co-ordinator of a nature interpretation program, assistant to Native cultural enhancement, radio host, and Waldorf teacher.
