The Ingolf Dahl Award in Musicology was established by the Pacific Southwest Chapter of the American Musicological Society in 1971 in memory of the late professor of music at the University of Southern California. The Award is given for the best student paper read at the annual joint meeting of the Northern California and Pacific Southwest Chapters. Three papers are nominated by a committee of student members headed by the previous year's recipient. The winner of the award will be selected at the meeting by a panel of students and professors comprised of conference attendees. This year's Dahl competition will take place on April 14 at the University of California, Los Angeles in Royce Hall, Room 314. (Click here for campus maps and directions.)

The application deadline for the 2007 Ingolf Dahl Competition is March 15, 2007. Please send your completed application to
