Abstract
Dear reader,
The Editorial Team is pleased to announce the 2023 BJMT Tony Wigram Student Prize. Submissions are due on
All students who have qualified within 18 months of the submission deadline are eligible to make a submission. Students should send their submissions in word format to the British Association for Music Therapy
Please note that submissions should not be sent to the journal editors’ email address.
The topic for the submission can be the student’s own choice, but should be related to their training. It can be a revision of a student assignment or a new piece of work, and it must be independently written. Submissions will be considered on their relevance to current and emerging music therapy practice and their originality, as well as their potential to be edited into a high-quality journal article. There is a word limit of 3000 words.
All submissions are considered anonymously by a peer-review panel consisting of the Editors and an external Music Therapist reviewer. The successful student will be informed after this process is completed (depending on the number of submissions, this can take 4–6 weeks from receipt). There will then be a process of revising the work, as is usual with journal articles. Students who do not win the prize will be given constructive feedback about their work with the intention that this will add to their overall learning process.
Students should follow the guidelines for BJMT articles (given on the back cover of the journal or on the SAGE website https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/british-journal-of-music-therapy/journal202508#description).
The BJMT Tony Wigram Student Prize gives an opportunity for students to have an experience of the editorial and production process – we look forward to reading your submissions.
