The subcommittee for the Julius Herford Prize, given annually by the American Choral Directors Association, is now accepting nominations for the outstanding doctoral terminal research project in choral music for 2007. Projects are eligible if they comprise the principal research component of the degree requirements, whether the institution defines the project as a “dissertation,” a “document,” a “thesis,” or “treatise,” etc. Eligibility is limited to doctoral recipients whose degrees were conferred during the period January 1 through December 31, 2007. The winner will receive a $1000 cash award and a plaque.

Nominations must be submitted by the dean, director, or chair of the music unit. An institution may submit only one document. In the event that there are two nominations of equal merit from one school, the administrative head of the unit must submit a letter justifying the additional nomination.
