ITEA Clifford Bevan Award for Excellence in Research 2025
The International Tuba Euphonium Association (ITEA) established the Clifford Bevan Award for Excellence in Research to foster excellence and to encourage the highest level of research pertaining to the tuba, euphonium, and/or related instruments. Low brass scholarship genres represent research on contemporary and historical topics related to acoustics, composition, theory, scoring, organology, and pedagogy and may include methodologies of oral history, biographical and ethnographic, historical, quantitative, statistical, and survey research.
The Clifford Bevan Award is presented at the biennial International Tuba Euphonium Conference (ITEC) in conjunction with the presentations of the Harvey G. Phillips Award for Composition, the Roger Bobo Award for Recording, and the Jim and Jamie Self Creative Award. The recipient of the Bevan Award receives a $500 stipend and an excerpt of the research published in the ITEA Journal.
