The Austrian Musicological Society (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Musikwissenschaft) is awarding a prize of 1000€ for the best academic paper on the broad topic of music and musical culture in or from Austria that will be published as an English-language open access article in Musicologica Austriaca, free of charge. Researchers from all musicological fields and related disciplines are encouraged to participate. We welcome all methodological perspectives on music, musicians, and musical culture associated with Austria in a broad sense.
The unpublished article should not exceed a length of 8,000 words (including notes) and must be submitted in English or German to musau-at-oegmw.at by June 15, 2026.
