Says David Parry-Davis, editor of The Enviropaedia and co-host of the Eco-Logic Awards, \u201cThe entries we received this year were of a very high calibre. We also opened new categories, including the Municipality category and have been delighted by the response. There was no entry fee required which leveled the playing field for both large and small organisations to enter the competition. As a result we\u2019re very pleased to see such a wide diversity of interesting and exciting entries streaming in this year\u201d.<\/p>\n
The winners of the Eco-Logic Awards 2013 will be announced at Maropeng (Cradle of Humankind South Africa) World Heritage site, Gauteng on the 26 September 2013.<\/p>\n
