*AAP Media Professionals' Award – Call for Entries*

The Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP) offers an occasional award
of $500 to journalists and other media professionals for excellence in the
presentation of philosophy or philosophical issues in the media in the
previous calendar year. The main criterion for the award of the prize is
the ability of the piece 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 Professionals' Award are Kyla Slaven
(Short and Curly radio show), Zan Boag (New Philosopher Magazine), Scott
Stephens and Waleed Aly (The Minefield), Tim Dean (The Conversation),
Antonia Case (New Philosopher), Natasha Mitchell (All in the Mind) and Alan
Saunders (Philosopher's Zone).

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.
