2010 Research Competition

Call for Papers and Presentations
ClarinetFest ®2010
University of Texas-Austin
July 21-25, 2010

The International Clarinet Association will hold its ClarinetFest® 2010, a symposium and festival devoted to the clarinet, at the University of Texas–Austin. The artistic directors are Richard MacDowell and Nathan Williams. The program for the conference will include a series of scholarly papers and presentations. The Association solicits proposals for presentations (such as papers or lecture-recitals) on any topic related to the clarinet. The use of live or recorded performance is acceptable; however, presentations whose sole aim is performance are discouraged. Presentations should be designed to be no more than 25 minutes in length. All persons submitting proposals must be members of the ICA. Those giving presentations must register for the conference.

Presenters on the program in 2009 are ineligible for 2010. Each person is limited to one proposal.

Prizes will be offered by the ICA as follows: First place presentation, US $1000 and guaranteed publication in The Clarinet journal (subject to editing); and second place presentation, US $500.

To submit a proposal, send the following:

1. SIX hard copies of an abstract (1200-1500 words) fully describing the content of the proposed presentation. Include a complete list of sources. The name or identification of the author must not appear on the proposal.

2. ONE hard copy of an author identification sheet containing the author’s name, address, phone numbers, and email address, if applicable. Please list all equipment needs for the proposed presentation. This sheet should also contain a biographical sketch of the author (limited to 150 words), as you would like it printed in the conference program.

3. ONE electronic copy of all of the above should be sent to <jellsworth@mail.ewu.edu>.

The above materials must be received by January 15, 2010. Please send to:
