The winner will be required to present the paper in English and to translate it into English for publication in the *Transactions*. *Advice to Essay Prize Entrants: *The winning entry will make a genuine contribution to the literature. Therefore, entrants should become familiar with the major currents of work on or related to Peirce to date and take care to locate their views in relation to published material that bears directly on their topic. Entrants should note that scholarly work on Peirce frequently benefits from explicit consideration of the development of his views. Even a submission that focuses on a single stage can benefit from the consideration of its development. Submissions should be prepared for anonymous evaluation. Authors who submit their entry electronically should be sure to remove any identifying information from their document properties/metadata. Entries must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Cover letter or email should include complete contact information, including mailing address and phone numbers, and a CV or statement showing that the entrant meets the eligibility requirements. Electronic submissions are preferred. Submissions should be sent as email attachments (Microsoft Word documents or PDF files only) to Aaron B. Wilson, Executive Director of the Charles S. Peirce Society: *[email protected] <[email protected]>*. Please include “Peirce Essay Prize Submission” in the subject line of your email.
