Award
In memory of Sir Frank Callaway founding
President of ASME, the Callaway Doctoral Award will be presented on a
biennial basis to the best doctoral thesis from an Australian university
in the area of music education. The thesis can be for a PhD or for an
applied doctorate. The award will be based on the contribution made by
a doctoral thesis to furthering theoretical, empirical, historical and/or
methodological knowledge in and about music education. In particular,
the ability of a doctoral thesis to make conceptual advances in music
education theory, policy and practice, to indicate methods for improvement
of music education, to assess the significance and viability of innovation
in music education, or to contribute to the advances in methodology for
research in music education will be assessed as criteria for the award.
The award will be made by a sub-committee
of the National Executive of the Australian Society for Music Education,
and will be announced at the biennial national conference of the Society.

Award session of the conference. The recipient's conference costs will

Society for Music Education two months before the biennial national

Fellowship of Australian
Society for Music Education
Fellowship of the Australian Society for Music Education is one of the
highest honours that the Society can award, and should be seen by ASME
members and Fellows and by the wider education community to be a recognition
of outstanding and distinctive contributions to the advancement of music
education.
A Fellowship Awards Committee can only make decisions on the written
evidence placed before them. A Fellowship is a national award and the
evidence offered must provide sufficient proof that the person is indeed
worthy of this highly prestigious award. It is therefore essential that
in preparing nominations, nominators address the criteria set out in these
Fellowship Guidelines.
The proforma nomination form, to be used for nominations is part of the
Fellowship Guidelines document.
Nominations to be considered for 2011 must be received by the 1
April 2011
