Publications Awards Subcommittee

The Publications Awards Subcommittee was created in 2017. It is overseen by the Publications Committee.

Terms of reference
The Publications Awards Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Publications Committee, solicits nominations for the best article and best review published in Fontes Artis Musicae in the previous year. The awards, given annually, are approved by the Board upon the recommendation of the Subcommittee. Each award citation includes a description of the strengths of the publication and is sent, in the form of a letter from the President to each recipient. Awards are announced at the General Assembly and reported in the journal. In addition, notice of the awards may be sent out to other organizations (e.g., AMS, IMS, ICTM, IFLA, IMC, etc.).

The membership should include at least three members each serving a three-year term. Terms should be staggered, so that new members join each year and other members' terms end. The members are chosen by the Chair of the Publications Committee from self-nominations of members of IAML. Annually the Secretary General should solicit nominations to serve on the Committee. The chair is chosen by the group and is usually the person serving their final year on the committee.  Publications Awards Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Publications Committee, solicits nominations for the best article and best review published in Fontes Artis Musicae in the previous year.
