Are you the next best thing in the field of research in the arts and cultural sector? On Thursday 25 June, Cultuurmarketing (a network for cultural marketeers) will hand out the first Cultuurmarketing Thesis Award. This is a prize for the best BA or MA thesis in the field of marketing, communications, cultural entrepreneurship, policy and organisation in the cultural sector. Sign up by Wednesday 15 April the latest.
Are you a student or alumnus, and have you completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis in 2014, focusing on one of the subject above, or any related topics?
Young researchers’ platform
There is a great need for new marketing, communication, organizational and policy talent, to professionalize and innovate the industry. In 2014, Cultuurmarketing introduced a ‘Research’-platform on it’s website, where several thesis abstracts written by young researchers were published. Cultuurmarketing will now emphasize the importance of research even further, by awarding the Cultuurmarketing Thesis Award.
Procedure
You can submit your thesis until Wednesday 15 April through www.cultuurmarketing.nl/scriptieprijs. Out of all the entries, 7-10 theses will be selected for the shortlist. The authors of these theses will be invited to present their findings during the Cultuurmarketing Awards on Thursday 25 June 2015; an excellent opportunity for you as a graduate to present yourself to the field of cultural marketing! The winner will be announced afterwards.
Jury
The jury will consist of three professionals in the cultural marketing & communications business. The Thesis Award contains, besides the title: an interview on Cultuurmarketing.nl, a presentation at the season opening of Cultuurmarketing, and a membership to Cultuurmarketing for the season 2015-2016.
