Thank you for your interest in the inaugural Createquity Arts Research Prize! This form will allow you to nominate up to three arts research publications for consideration.
Before submitting your nomination(s), please consider the following eligibility criteria:
- Our definition of "publications" is broad, and may include studies published in peer-reviewed journals, reports commissioned by foundations or government agencies, dissertations, self-published work, even in-depth blog posts.
- Submissions may originate from any country, but for this year we are concentrating on English-language publications.
- The publication must be publicly available (behind a paywall is OK, but we must be able to access it through standard library subscriptions), and have been first published in 2016.
- The work must either a) focus primarily on the arts, or b) be written with an arts audience in mind.
- Both theoretical and empirical work are eligible. Analyses may be qualitative or quantitative in nature, and may or may not involve original data collection.
- Generally speaking, we are interested in research on the arts that employs methods from the social sciences, broadly conceived—economics, psychology, sociology, etc.—as well as neuroscience and medical research. We are NOT looking for historical, biographical, or aesthetic analysis of a single artist's or small group of artists' work, or cultural criticism focusing on specific works of art.
We will be scoring nominations on the relevance and applicability of their research questions, the fit between their research questions and research methods, and the uniqueness of the contribution the research makes to the broader literature.
We will be accepting nominations through April 10. Stay tuned for the announcement of the winner later this spring!
