Hannah Arendt Prize in Critical Theory and Creative Research

The Hannah Arendt Prize in Critical Theory and Creative Research is a prize competition awarded annually to original essays written on topics at the intersection of art and creative research. Essay submissions engage a new theme chosen each year in the tradition of political theorist Hannah Arendt. The award was established in 2012 by the Master of Arts in Critical Theory and Creative Research at the Oregon Institute for Creative Research in Portland, Oregon. Competition is open to the public, and winners are selected by an international jury.
