Papers on any theme or problem in philosophy are welcome. Presented papers are published in the winter issue of the Society's journal, Southwest Philosophy Review.

The Society gives an annual award of $100 to the best paper accepted for the program written by a graduate student or recent Ph.D. (degree granted within three years of the meeting). Authors who are eligible for the prize should indicate this on the cover page of their submissions.

Papers may not exceed 3000 words in length; submissions should include a word count on the title page. Papers exceeding this length will not be considered.

Papers should not contain any information identifying their authors. Author's name, affiliation, email address and phone number should be on a separate page. If submitting electronically, any identifying information must be on a separate file. Please include an abstract of the paper (150 words maximum) on a separate page.
