CALL FOR ANNUAL WRITING AWARD SUBMISSIONS 

Do you have ideas you’ve been developing in supervision, class, or your private thoughts? Are you exploring questions that feel alive in your clinical work, your reading, or your experience of the world? NCSPP invites all graduate students and early career clinicians to put those ideas into writing and submit a paper for our 2025 Annual Writing Award.

We’re looking for original work that engages psychoanalytic ideas in creative and meaningful ways. Papers can be clinical, theoretical, or interdisciplinary, as long as they make use of psychoanalytic ideas. This is an opportunity to refine your voice and take part in a wider conversation about what psychoanalysis can be today.

The winning paper will be published in fort da, NCSPP’s journal, and the author will be invited to present their work at a Scientific Meeting alongside an invited discussant. The winner will also receive a $250 cash prize.

Submissions are due by October 31st, 2025.
