The Musici Trust Publication Prize
The Musici Trust Publication Prize, established in 2026, will be awarded annually for a substantial article or chapter in the field of early music (defined as music ‘up to 1600’), published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal or book and judged by the selection committee to be of outstanding quality. Entire monographs may not be submitted. The author will be a graduate student or a recent PhD graduate, up to three years from the award of the doctorate. The prize consists of a monetary award of £500. Articles or chapters with a date of acceptance for publication of 2026 are eligible for the 2027 Musici Trust Prize.
