Call for Nominations, IASPM-Canada Book Prize (2021)

The International Association for the Study of Popular Music-Canada Branch (IASPM-Canada) requests nominations for the IASPM-Canada Book Prize, which recognizes a member whose published monograph makes a substantial contribution to the field of popular music studies, has been written by a Canadian author, or published by a Canadian-based press, or that deals substantially with Canadian subject matter. Nominated books must have been published in 2019 or 2020.

Any member in good standing of IASPM-Canada may nominate a book; members may nominate their own books, prize committee members may nominate books, and we encourage publishers to suggest books for consideration, but only IASPM-Canada members in good standing may submit nominations to the committee.

The deadline for nominations is April 1, 2021. Nominations should include the author’s name, book title, and publisher’s information. Nominations should be sent electronically to Steven Baur ([email protected]). The award committee will announce the winner at the 2021 IASPM-Canada meeting to be held virtually June 7-18.
