The Musicology Prize was created to encourage scientific research and to spread knowledge and appreciation of Latin American musical culture; the competition covers unpublished papers on musical historiography, interpretation and critical explanations about musical creation, traditional and folklore music, theory and practice in the teaching of music, overall theoretical musicological framework papers and any other topics concerning musical esthetics, sociology and anthropology. Since 1999, juries have used the occasion to hold the International Musicology Colloquium which has become an important event for mutual recognition and for Latin American and world specialists in the field getting together to learn more about Cuban music through concerts, book launchings, magazines, CDs and audiovisual productions.
