The American Beethoven Society invites nominations for its annual award for scholarly research.
Each year the society awards a $1000 prize to an early-career scholar for outstanding work published in the previous calendar year. Work relating to Beethoven should form a significant component of the publication, but it need not be the exclusive or even primary focus. Articles, books, and scholarly editions are all eligible, and we define “early-career” as no more than twelve years beyond the completion of a graduate or postgraduate degree. The published work must be in English.
The selection committee will consist of the members of the editorial board of the Beethoven Journal, the scholarly publication of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies and American Beethoven Society.
We invited nominations for work published in 2025. The closing date for nominations is February 2, 2026, and the prize will be awarded in June 2026. Self-nominations are welcome.
Please submit nominations by email to beethovencenter@sjsu.edu. Nominations should include a digital copy of the nominated publication and a brief explanation of the nominee’s eligibility as an early-career scholar.
