Philo Agora is offering 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.

The Award will run from September to August each year with presentation in September. Judging will be by the Committee.
