PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLORATIONS ESSAY PRIZE 2011

The journal Philosophical Explorations has inaugurated an annual essay
prize for philosophers in the early stages of their career. Papers are
invited on all aspects of the philosophy of mind and action. They should not
be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and should not be
submitted to any other journal until the outcome of the competition is known.

_________
The Prize
* Publication of the winning essay in Philosophical Explorations as the
opening article of the June 2011 issue (volume 14, issue 2).
* The winning essay will be promoted on the website of the journal.
* Cash prize of #250.

____
Jury

All submitted papers that qualify (see conditions) will be evaluated by the
journal's editorial board. The top 5 papers will be nominated for the Prize
and will be judged by a jury consisting of three members of the journal's
advisory board. The jury will evaluate the papers on the originality of the
paper, the quality of the argumentation, conceptual clarity, and overall
readability.

The decision of the jury will be final. There is only one prize per year and
the jury reserves the right to award no prize at all if submitted material
is not of an appropriate standard.
