THE PAUL A. PISK PRIZE
The Paul A. Prize is awarded annually to a graduate music student for a scholarly paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society. Any paper by a graduate student whose abstract has been submitted to the Program Committee, and the paper accepted for inclusion in the Annual Meeting, is eligible for the Pisk Prize. Application procedures are as follows:
1. The complete text of the paper (together with copies of any supporting materials to be presented with it—verbal, visual, and/or audible) must be submitted, in five copies, to the office of the AMS to be received by 1 October. Please note: because of time constraints, materials must be mailed from the AMS office to the evaluation committee the afternoon of 1 October. If your material is not in hand at that time, it cannot be considered.
2. The submission must be accompanied by a statement from the student’s academic adviser affirming graduate-student status of the applicant as of the date of the paper’s acceptance by the Program Committee.
The Pisk Prize Committee shall determine the winner of the prize, evaluating the submissions as papers to be read at the Annual Meeting rather than as articles to be published. (Notes, bibliography, and any other scholarly apparatus, though not forbidden, will not be a prime consideration of the evaluation. For this reason, principal intellectual debts should be acknowledged in the body of the paper.) The winner is announced, and the prize awarded, at the Annual Business Meeting and Awards Presentation of the Society by the chair of the committee.
