About this program

The American Association of Geographers (AAG) offers the annual Meridian Book Award, a $1,000 prize (plus possible honorable mention) recognizing a book that makes an unusually important contribution to advancing the science and art of geography. Eligible books must be written or co‑authored by a geographer and first published in English between October of the previous year and September of the current year (in any country). Nominations require a nomination statement (maximum two pages) documenting the book’s contribution, full contact information for authors and nominators, shipment of four copies of the book to AAG headquarters to arrive by the deadline, and adherence to the AAG Professional Conduct Policy. The 2027 award application opens later in 2026; submissions are due by October 15, 2026 (midnight EST).
