The Frantz Fanon Prize is awarded annually in recognition of up to
three works in or of special interest to Caribbean thought. The
nominations are made during the fall of each year, and the winners are
chosen and announced by February of the succeeding year. The plaque of
acknowledgment is given at a ceremony and book session at the annual
conference of the Caribbean Philosophical Association. Only books
published within 6 years of the nomination date can be considered for
the award. Each winning author automatically becomes a member of the
committee for the prize.
