[AMS-announce] AWARD: Mozart Society of America, Marjorie Weston Emerson Award

[Announcements for the AMS]

The Mozart Society of America invites nominations for its Marjorie Weston Emerson Award. This prize, in the amount of $500, is given for the best scholarly work on Mozart published in English during 2007. Eligible works include books, journal articles and editions.

Because this is the first year of the award, we are extending the deadline for nominations to Friday, 25 July 2008.

The selection will be made by a committee of Mozart scholars appointed by the President of the Mozart Society of America, with approval from the Board of Directors. The committee will reach its decision by 1 September 2008 and, if an award is granted, will present it at the Society’s annual business meeting in the autumn of 2008 and announce it in the Society’s Newsletter the following January.

Nominations (including self-nominations) may be submitted, via mail or email, to:

Edmund Goehring
Chair, Emerson Prize Committee
Talbot College, University of Western Ontario
