ICMA Book Prize Jury

Call for Participation

Due Monday 27 April 2026


The ICMA Book Prize is an international, annual prize open to single- or co-authored books on any topic in medieval art. The Jury is responsible for reading and considering each submission. The Book Prize accepts submissions in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. 


We are seeking three volunteer jury members to fulfill varied terms: one 1-year term (for 2026), one 2-year term (for 2026 and 2027), and one 3-year term (2026, 2027, and 2028). 

  • The time commitment will be 40+ hours per year, with most of the activity taking place during the June-October period and additional deliberations as needed through the end of the calendar year.

  • The number of submissions varies per year (as does workload), but typically 10-20 submissions are anticipated.

  • Candidates based in any part of the world are welcome to apply; jurors must remain active members of the ICMA throughout their term.

  • We seek an intellectually and institutionally diverse Jury capable of evaluating the field’s many flourishing areas of research. Candidates working in all subfields of medieval art history are welcome to apply.   

  • Candidates must hold a PhD.


Please apply HERE by uploading your CV and completing a brief application, including your area of speciality and a paragraph about why you’d be willing to serve on the Jury.
