Each year the Julius Herford Prize Subcommittee of the Research and Publications Committee accepts nominations for the
outstanding doctoral terminal research project in choral music. Projects are eligible if they comprise the principal research
component of the degree requirements, whether the institution defi nes the project as a “dissertation,” “document,” “thesis,” or
“treatise,” etc. The submitted projects are evaluated entirely blind with regard to dissertator, assisting faculty, institution, and any
other identifying material, by an unpaid panel of choral conductor-scholars.
When a dissertation may be nominated: The prize name’s date (above) indicates the year in which the relevant doctoral
degree was conferred. Dissertations must be nominated in the calendar year following the year in which the degree was conferred.
The prize is awarded in the calendar year following the year of nomination. Thus, the dissertation of a student with a 2020 degree
can be nominated between January 1 and June 15, 2021; the prize will be awarded in 2022 (at the relevant 2022 ACDA conference).
The award: The winner will receive a $1000 cash prize and a plaque. The committee reserves the right to award two prizes or
no prizes in any given year.
Nomination Requirements and Procedure:
1. An institution may submit only one document for that year’s prize. In the event that there are two nominations of equal merit
from one school, the letter from the Dean, Director, or Chair of the music school (described below) must justify the additional
nomination. The submitting faculty member, institution, and/or the writer must be currently a member of ACDA in good
standing.
2. Links to the nomination form and instructions for uploading the dissertation are found on the prize webpage
(http://bit.ly/2020HerfordPrize)
OR Log onto acda.org; Under “About”, select “Awards & Competitions”; Select “Julius Herford Dissertation Prize”
The nomination consists of two parts: (1) completion of the online nomination form, with its required PDF uploads, and (2)
upload of a PDF version of the dissertation, with all material identifying the author, faculty, and institution removed or blacked
out. The nomination form will require the following uploads:
• PDF abstract of the dissertation WITHOUT any material identifying the student, faculty, or institution.
• PDF title page of the dissertation WITH identifying information, including the dissertator’s name and institution.
• PDF of a signed letter from the dean, director, or chair of the music school recommending that the dissertation be considered
for the Herford Prize. Letters from the chair of the choral area are not acceptable. The letter must include the following: (1)
the full name of the student, (2) the year in which that student’s degree was granted, and (3) the full title of the dissertation.
• PDF of complete contact information for the dissertator (full name, USPS address, phone number, email address) for the
submitting faculty (full name, title, phone number, email address).
3. The dissertation and all accompanying materials must be uploaded by June 15, 2021, noon CST
NB: If one or more of these requirements is not met, the dissertation will be eliminated from consideration.
