IASPM Book Award, 2007 Edition

A public award will be given by IASPM for two outstanding *first* books on popular music, one in English, the other either in Spanish or Portuguese, at the 2007 Mexico City IASPM conference.

Nominations are invited from IASPM members of books they consider to be possible contenders for such an award. Authors nominated should preferably already be members of IASPM, or should become members of IASPM after being nominated, in order to be eligible.

Authors may either self-nominate, or other members may nominate authors and books they regard worth considering for the award.

Books nominated must have been already published and be on the market since January 1st 2005, until December 31st 2006, and a copy of the book must be sent by the publisher to each of the three members of the judging panel (see below), before March 31st 2007.

The judging panel consists of Vanessa Knights (UK - chair), Vincenzo Perna (Italy), and Juan Pablo González (Chile).
