A reminder that entries for the AAP Media Prize will close on *20 March
2026* at 8.00 pm AEDT.

The Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP) offers an annual monetary
prize for the best philosophical piece or pieces published by a
professional philosopher in the popular media in Australasia during the
previous calendar year. Since 2025, winners of the prize may also be
invited to present the Alan Saunders Lecture, co-hosted with the ABC.

The prize recognises outstanding public philosophy and celebrates
philosophy that reaches beyond the academy to engage wider audiences.
Recent winners include Alexandre Lefebvre for 'Rawls the Redeemer' (Aeon
Magazine), Christopher Lean and Kate E. Lynch for 'De-Extinction Part 1 &
Part 2' (The Philosopher’s Zone), and Mark Alfano and Mandi Astola for 'A
sense of humour – even a dark one – is a moral virtue' (Psyche/Aeon).

If you published an eligible piece in 2025, or know a colleague who did, we
encourage you to submit an entry.
