*AAP Media Prize – Call for Entries* The Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP) offers an annual prize of $500 for the best philosophical piece(s) published by a professional philosopher in the popular media in Australasia during the previous calendar year. First awarded in 1999, the main criterion for the award of the prize is the ability of the piece(s) to engage the interest of the general public in philosophy or some philosophical issue. Consideration is also given to the quality of the philosophical discussion and to the size of the audience reached.
Previous winners of the AAP Media Prize include Russell Blackford (2017), Matthew Beard (2016), Henry Martyn Lloyd (2015), Patrick Stokes (2014), Damon Young (2013), Paul Biegler (2012), Peter Slezak (2011), Caroline West (2010) and John Armstrong (2009). The prize will be awarded at the annual Alan Saunders Lecture which takes place as part of the annual AAP conference in July. This Prize is sponsored by Taylor and Francis, publisher of the Australasian Journal of Philosophy and the Australasian Philosophical Review. *Applications* The AAP invites entries/nominations for media work from *professional philosophers* in Australasia (including postgraduates and also retired academic philosophers) published in *2017*.
