Announcement Communitarian Essay Contest The Communitarian Network __________________________________________________ The Communitarian Network invites you to participate in an essay contest on communitarian thinking! The essay contest has been re-opened beginning April 1, 2006. Submissions will be accepted until June 30, 2006, and the winners will be announced shortly thereafter. There will be no further extensions. Prizes: First prize, $10,000; second prize, $5,000; and third prize, $2,500. Judges: Daniel Bell, Hans Joas, and Amitai Etzioni. Eligible: All who are not employees of the Communitarian Network or members of their families. Essays may deal with philosophical, sociological, or other elements of communitarian thinking. Contestants are free to explore matters concerning theory or specific policies issues on the local, national, or transnational levels. However, it is required that contestants delve into communitarian thinking, especially of the responsive communitarian kind (See http://www2.gwu.edu/~ccps/index.html). Communitarian thinking must be evident throughout the essay; it should nurture and guide the analysis rather then be mentioned in the introduction and conclusion or only evoked occasionally. Essays critical of communitarian thinking are as likely to win a prize as those that seek to augment this line of work or show that its application leads to new insights, public policies, or normative positions. The essays must be original. NO parts of them can have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The Communitarian Network reserves the right to publish the winning essays. The Communitarian Network also reserves the right not to award any prizes if the essays received are deemed not to meet the standards set by the Communitarian Network. However, in such a case the prizes will be added to the prizes available in future rounds of the same contest.
