Student-written articles constitute a major portion of The Juilliard Journal. The Juilliard Journal Award was created in 2004 to encourage and recognize those students who not only make writing for The Journal an integral part of their academic experience, but also keep the Publications Office aware of topics that should be covered in these pages. Students interested in writing for the paper should contact the senior editor at extension 341.
