Opportunity description
The Alpine Fellowship announced the Alpine Academic Prize for the best piece of academic essay writing on the theme of the 2020 Alpine Fellowship: Forgiveness and Retribution.
Prizes:
The winner and two runners up are invited to attend the symposium. The winner receives £3,000 cash prize and is invited to attend the symposium. Runners-up are invited to attend the symposium and offered reimbursement of travel expenses up to £500.
Rules:
- Open to all nationalities, aged 18 and above.
- A maximum of 4000 words per entry.
- Academic writing is to be construed broadly, by way of contrast with creative writing, as writing that a) advances and defends an argument on the question and/or that b) makes a systematic and appreciable contribution to knowledge in academic disciplines, concerning the topic of the symposium.
- Work from different disciplinary (or interdisciplinary) approaches including, but not limited to, philosophy, history, sociology, literary studies, political theory, biology, anthropology, and psychology will be considered.
- Prime consideration will be the ability of the piece to speak in an engaging way to a general intellectual audience.
- Limited to one entry per person, and one may not submit the same piece for the Alpine Fellowship Writing Prize.
- The text must not have been published, self-published or accepted for publication in print or online, or have won or been placed in another competition at any time.
- Judging is anonymous, so please ensure your name does not appear anywhere on the documents you submit.
