The Bijutsushi Article Prize

The Bijutsushi Prize, the award for outstanding articles published in the scholarly journal Bijutsushi, has been established to recognize exceptional contributions to the advancement of art history.

2) Eligibility: Any article having been published in the previous fiscal year’s Bijutsushi journal issues
3) Number of prizes awarded: A maximum of three prizes to be awarded. In some instances, no prizes may be awarded in a particular year.
4) Selection method:
  a) The Standing Committees of the Eastern and Western Divisions (excluding the Society Chairman) each elect five members with appropriate specialties to the Article Prize Selection Committee.
b) The Article Prize Selection Committee evaluates entries for the Bijutsushi Article Prize, and their decisions are then confirmed by the Standing Committees of the Eastern and Western Divisions, with the responsibility jointly held by the Joint Meeting of the Eastern and Western Division Standing Committees.
c) When an Article Prize Selection Committee member has any prior form of relationship with the author of an entry text, then the member must make that known to the Committee. Any Selection Committee member who has previously served in a direct advisory role to an author as an advising professor during the writing process must refrain from voting.
d) The prize winners are determined during the May Joint Meeting of the Eastern and Western Division Standing Committees, and prizes are presented during the annual JAHS General Assembly.
