AMS - Alfred Einstein Award for Outstanding Article in Musicology

Organization: American Musicological Society

The Alfred Einstein Award will honor each year a musicological article of exceptional merit, published during the previous year in any language and in any country by a scholar in the early stages of his or her career who is a member of the AMS or a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States. "Early stages" of the career is typically indicated by time from completion of the Ph.D. degree, or academic appointment at a non-tenured level, or position of the article among the initial itemsof the author's bibliography. "Previous year" refers to the de facto year of publication of the article. The award committee will encourage or, if necessary, limit eligibility according to these general guidelines. The committee, consisting of five scholars, will entertain, but will not be limited to, nominations from any individual and will choose a single winner from among all the candidates. The winner receives a monetary prize and a certificate, conferred at the Annual Business Meeting and Awards Presentation of the Society by the chair of the committee. An individual may receive the award only once, but winning the Einstein Award will not preclude winning the H. Colin Slim Award at a later stage of the career. Nominations, including self-nominations, may be submitted.
