The H. Colin Slim Award
The H. Colin Slim Award honors each year a musicological article of exceptional merit, published during the previous year (2011) in any language and in any country by a scholar who is past the early stages of her or his career and 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 normally considered to mean no more than ten years beyond completion of the Ph.D. degree. “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 award committee, consisting of five scholars, will choose a single winner from among all the candidates. The winner will receive 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.
Nominations, including self-nominations, may be submitted by 1 May 2012 to the office of the AMS. Nominations should include the name of the author, the title of the article, and the name and year of the journal or other collection in which it was published. Additionally, the award committee may solicit the curriculum vitae of each nominee.
