ACPQ Rising Scholar Contest - Due September 1

Each year, the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly (ACPQ) hosts its annual Rising Scholar Essay Contest. Any scholar who has not attained the rank of associate professor is invited to submit a paper contributing to the development or elucidation of the Catholic philosophical tradition. The winning paper is published in the ACPQ.

Papers must be submitted electronically by no later than 5 p.m. (CDT) on September 1, 2022. The paper should be accompanied by an abstract of up to 150 words. The cover letter field of the submission site's Details and Comments section should indicate the author's academic rank as of September 1, 2022 (e.g., "PhD candidate") and that the submission is for the essay contest.

The winning essay will be published in the ACPQ and specially designated in the journal as winner of the contest.

The author of a single-authored winning paper will receive a $3000 award and a free one-year membership in the American Catholic Philosophical Association (ACPA). Each co-author of a co-authored winning paper will receive a share, equal to that of the other co-author(s), of a $3000 award, together with a free one-year membership for each co-author in the ACPA. Author(s) of the winning paper must be below the rank of associate professor at the time of the submission deadline, September 1, 2022.
