The H. Colin Slim Award honors each year a musicological article of exceptional merit, published during the previous year (2021) 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; if the nominator wishes to nominate an author who is fewer than ten years beyond the Ph.D., she or he should communicate with the AMS regarding the circumstances involved. “Previous year” refers to the de facto year of publication of the article.

The award committee, consisting of five scholars, will choose a single winner from among all the candidates. The winner receives a monetary prize and a certificate, as well as recognition at the Annual Meeting of the Society. An article may receive only one AMS award.

Anyone may submit a nomination. Nominations, including self-nominations, must be submitted by 15 April 2022.
