The Book Prize for Senior Scholars is awarded for an outstanding book dealing with any aspect of Kant’s philosophy. Submissions will be judged by a panel consisting of members drawn from the NAKS Advisory Board, and the winner will receive a prize of $500. Calls for submissions and more details will be issued in the newsletter. The Awards Committee reserves the right not to award a prize, if in its judgment no prize is warranted.

Eligibility rules:
•  Only single-authored monographs or collections of essays written in English will be considered.
• The author must be a Senior scholar. “Senior” is defined as: “40 or older (regardless of tenure status), or tenured (regardless of age).”
• Authors must be members of NAKS at the time of submission.

• Submission must be made by the publisher, and four (4) copies of the book must be submitted to NAKS.

• Current NAKS Executive and/or Advisory Board Members are not eligible to compete for the prize.
