The British Forum for Ethnomusicology invites submissions for the 2024 BFE Book Prize, to recognise outstanding scholarship in ethnomusicology written in English. Monographs and edited volumes published between 16 November 2021 and 15 November 2023 will be eligible for the 2024 prize.
Authors (of monographs) and editors (of edited collections) must be 2024 BFE members (authors contributing to edited collections do not need to be members but are welcome to join).

No book may be entered more than once for this prize. The award will be presented in 2024 and carries a prize of £250. The winner of the prize will be invited to sit on the panel for the next BFE Book Prize.
To enter, please send THREE copies of the nominated book, together with brief biographical information and contact details for the author(s) or editor(s) to the Chair of the prize panel, Anna Morcom (see below).
