Nautilus
The Nautilus Book Awards are named for the mollusk, whose beautiful, pearl-lined shell contains chambers of increasing size, which the sea creature constructs for itself as it grows. The nautilus symbolizes both ancient wisdom and expanding horizons, the elegance of nature, and a continual growth of understanding and awareness.
They look for literary contributions to spiritual growth, green values and sustainability, wellness, social change, and social justice.
