Each year, the Jewish Studies & Music study group at AMS recognizes outstanding scholarly work in the field of Jewish music. For the 2024 awards cycle, we welcome nominations of work that was published from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 in the following categories:
- A book, monograph, or edited volume.
- An article from a journal or a chapter in an edited volume.
- Other published scholarly materials. This may include, but is not limited to: liner notes to an audio recording, a film, annotated translations or music manuscripts, web materials.
Eligibility
Submissions may come from any scholar, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or academic rank.
- Anyone may submit a nomination, and authors are welcome to nominate their own works.
- All authors must be members in good standing with the AMS.
- All submissions should be published in English, including published translations from other languages.
Evaluation
Submissions will be evaluated by members of the JSMSG board and by outside reviewers.
Application Process
Nominations for materials should be sent to amsjewishmusic [at] gmail [dot] com with “JSMSG 2024 Awards Nomination” in the subject line. Please submit the following materials with your nomination:
- The author’s name.
- An abstract or brief description of the work.
- A PDF or link to the ebook, article, or recording. If you are unable to send PDFs due to copyright restrictions, please include the ISBN along with the publisher information.
Authors may only have one nominated publication per category. Authors may, however, submit publications in more than one category (for instance, one article and one book). If we receive two nominations by the same author in the same category (for instance, if one publication is nominated by the author and another is nominated by someone else), we will ask the author to choose one of these publications.
Award winners will be notified prior to the annual AMS meeting and results will be announced during the 2024 AMS Annual Meeting.
Deadline for applications:
All nominations are due by 11:59pm PT, July 5, 2024, 11:59pm PT.
