Philo Agora offers a prize of $100 for the best talk and paper that meets Philo Agora’s objective of relating philosophical thought to the question of how we think about and/or act out our lives – individually or collectively.
 
Our guidelines require that the paper be written for presentation to a thinking audience with no assumed prior knowledge of philosophical theory. The talk will be presented at a Philo Agora evening meeting within a 20 minute time frame relating to a philosopher, philosophy or philosophical theme. Immediately following will be 5 to 10 minutes answering questions of clarification. Following a short break, the audience is asked to give their personal viewpoints on the topic, a final summing up is then allowed to the presenter. 

The maximum number of words in the written paper is 2500 which roughly corresponds to a 20 minute talk. The prize is open to all graduates, post grads and self-taught philosophers. Graduates who enter for the award will be offered free admission every time they attend a Philo Agora evening in the year of presentation. All papers to be published on the Philo Agora website.
