Dear FEAST,

Would you please assist in advertising the APA's Rockefeller Prize?  This prize is given every other year to the best unpublished article-length work in philosophy by a non-academically affiliated philosopher.  Please share this email with any non-academic affiliated philosophers you know, any reading groups, former graduate students, and other listservs.  The deadline is November 1. The winner's work will be published in The Journal of Value Inquiry, by mutual agreement of the author and the editors of the journal.

Award Amount: $1,000

Submissions procedures

The APA invites members who have no permanent academic affiliation to participate in this competition for the best unpublished paper-length work in philosophy. To qualify, one may in fact be teaching at a university in a part-time or a full-time temporary position as long as one also meets the following requirements: Authors must not hold a full-time position at an institution of higher education in philosophy that continues beyond the end of the current academic year, nor may they have held such a position within the last three years. The author must hold a Ph.D. in philosophy or its equivalent at the time of submission, and must be a current member of the APA in good standing. Professors emeriti are not eligible. Previous winners of this prize are not eligible.

Submissions must be unpublished at the time of submission* and must be prepared neatly and legibly, and with all references which would identify the author removed. Submissions must be no more than 40 double-spaced pages in length. Please submit (electronically) the work to be considered, together with your current CV to: Linda Nuoffer ([log in to unmask]). The deadline for the 2012 award is November 1, 2011.

Reviewing will be blind. The prize amount is $1,000. Co-authors of a winning submission, or authors of winning submissions judged to be equal in merit, will share equally in the prize. The prize will be announced in the Proceedings and Addresses, and it is expected (but not required) the winning submission will be published in The Journal of Value Inquiry.
