CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

2011-12 Charles S. Peirce Society Essay Contest

Topic: Any topic on or related to the work of Charles Sanders Peirce.

Awards: $500 cash prize; presentation at the Society's next annual  
meeting, held in conjunction with the Pacific APA (in Seattle,  
Washington, April 4-7, 2012); possible publication, subject to  
editorial revision, in the Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce  
Society.

Submission Deadline: January 16, 2012.

Length: Because the winning essay may be published in the  
Transactions, the length of contest submissions should be about the  
length of an average journal article. The maximum acceptable length is  
10,000 words, including notes. The presentation of the winning  
submission at the annual meeting cannot exceed 30 minutes reading time.

Open to: Graduate students and persons who have held a Ph.D. or its  
equivalent for no more than seven years. Entries from students who  
have not yet begun their graduate training will not be considered.  
Past winners of the contest are ineligible. Joint submissions are  
allowed provided that all authors satisfy the eligibility requirements.

Advice to Essay Contest Entrants:

The winning entry will make a genuine contribution to the literature  
on Peirce. Therefore, entrants should become familiar with the major  
currents of work on 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 the explicit consideration of the historical development of his  
views. Even a submission that focuses on a single stage in that  
development can benefit from noting the stage on which it focuses in  
reference to other phases of Peirce's treatment of the topic under  
consideration. (This advice is not intended to reflect a bias toward  
chronological studies, but merely to express a strong preference for a  
chronologically informed understanding of Peirce's philosophy.)
We do not require but strongly encourage, where appropriate, citation  
of the Writings of Charles S. Peirce: A Chronological Edition.  
Ideally, citation of texts found in both the Collected Papers and the  
Writings should be to both CP and W.

Submissions should be prepared for blind evaluation and 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 statement that the  
entrant meets the eligibility requirements of the contest.

Electronic submissions are preferred. Submissions should be sent as  
email attachments (Microsoft Word documents, RTF files, or PDF files  
only) to Robert Lane, secretary-treasurer of the Society:
