The Stefan & Wanda Wilk Prizes for Research in Polish Music are awarded in
two independent competitions, each held biennially (in different years):

- Wilk Essay Prizes for Research in Polish Music (yearly till 1999, since
then held in odd years, including 2001) and

- Wilk Book Prizes for Research in Polish Music (even years, starting in
2000).

The prizes are awarded to authors of the best scholarly publications
reflecting original research on some aspect of the music of Poland,
preferably on a less researched topic or composer. The competition is
sponsored by the Polish Music Center (PMC) at the Thornton School of Music
of the University of Southern California.

The Wilk Essay Prizes competition, held in 2001, is divided into two
categories, Student Prize and Professional Prize. The winning essay by an
author who is a student will receive a prize of $500. Professionals (who
have completed music studies and hold a doctorate or its equivalent) will
compete for a prize of $1,000.

Both competitions are open to all authors based outside of Poland. All
submissions should be in English and consist of one copy of an
unpublished, original essay (ca. 20 pages, plus notes and references,
printed on one side of paper) dedicated to any aspect of Polish music. The
winning papers will be published in the peer-reviewed online scholarly
"Polish Music Journal" (http://www.usc.edu/go/polish_music/PMJ"). All
entries should be received on or before June 30th of the year in which the
competition is held. The winners will be announced by the end of the year.

The jury consists of members of the musicology faculty at the USC Thornton
School of Music and Polish music specialists from other universities and
countries, especially from Poland. In case of a tie, final selections are
made by the Stefan and Wanda Wilk Director of the Polish Music Center. The
awards may also be split between two entries; in these cases the cash
prizes are divided.

More information about the competition and past prize winners may be found
