The North American Society for Social Philosophy awards an annual prize of $800 for the best Graduate Student Paper presented at the conference.

To be considered for this award, full papers of no more than 3,000 words must be submitted on or before March 15, 2026 to [email protected]. 

Please include a word count with submission.

Prizes will only be awarded to conference attendees who are still enrolled in a program towards a degree beyond the B.A. or first university diploma at the time of the conference. (Note that if the paper is coauthored then all the authors must meet this requirement.)

There is no obligation to use prize money for conference-related costs.
