As part of our commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion within British Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art, the ÌÇÐÄÊÓÆµ bestows up to two New Horizons Prizes for the best papers submitted to the Annual Conference by members of groups traditionally underrepresented in philosophical aesthetics.
Congratulations to our 2026 winners: James Rowley (University of Liverpool), for his paper, ‘Digital Sampling: Towards a Hip-Hop Ontology’, and Yili Zhou (Duke Kunshan University) for her paper, ‘Morality and Music: A Brief Discussion on How Moral Self-Cultivation Contributes to Music Performance’.
James and Yili both receive a £500 prize and a grant of up to £1000 to attend the conference in September. They will be encouraged to review their papers for submission to the British Journal of Aesthetics.
