We are living in urgent times - at an international, national and local level, people are navigating new or continued threats to their personal, social and environmental well-being. How might our Community Music practices and research reflect this urgency? This year we focus on sustainability and accountability within community practice, with consideration towards personal, social, and environmental factors.

Call for Submissions
Types of Submissions:
1. Arts-based research presentations (creative and arts-based research methods are highly appropriate for participatory, community-based, and action research)
2. Spoken papers: both read papers and pecha kucha formats are accepted. (Pecha Kucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically, and you talk along to the images.)
3. Posters
4. Demonstrations/Workshops
5. Symposia
With all submissions, please include a 50-word self-location statement locating yourself: who you are, where you are now, and where you have come from. It may include your formal affiliation; independent scholars and practitioners are of course warmly welcomed. This protocol of locating oneself relationally is common to many First Nations peoples and a practice we have adopted with CMA since 2022.
Limitations: The Commissions usually only accept one submission per author. There are exceptions for special cases or topics for the CMA pre-conference, depending upon availability of space; please contact the Commission Chairs prior to the submission closing date. Presenters at the International Seminar are invited to present their paper as a Poster at the World Conference in Helsinki. Because Seminar presentations will be reviewed by the Commission for inclusion in the Seminar, presenters will not go through review again by the World Conference committee, but will be taken on recommendation of the Commission Chair for the Poster Session.
Additional information
Submission formats and session durations should be consistent with those of the World Conference.
We offer a limited number of places to present online.
1. ARTS-BASED RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS
Arts-based research presentations are encouraged, and will be allocated [30 minutes], consisting of no more than [20 minutes] for the presentation and a maximum of [10 minutes] for questions and discussion. Please submit an abstract of up to 400 words. Abstract titles should be 15-words or fewer. References, tables, and figures should be added to the end of the document and are not included in the word count. No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included. No specific format, such as APA, is required.
2. SPOKEN PAPERS
Academic Traditional: Spoken Papers will be allocated [30 minutes], consisting of no more than [20 minutes] for the presentation and a maximum of [10 minutes] for questions and discussion.
Pecha Kucha: Designed to cover interesting information in a captivating format. We have all heard of elevator pitches, a presentation so short you could pitch it to someone in an elevator. 20 seconds x 20 images is a bit longer than that, but the idea is the same: short, concise presentations that can accommodate many more research ideas than the traditional 20 minute format. For pecha kucha submissions, please include an abstract of up to 400 words. Abstract titles should be 15-words or fewer. References, tables, and figures should be added to the end of the document and are not included in the word count. No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included. No specific format, such as APA, is required.
FULL PAPER
For the Commission Pre-Conference Seminar, full papers may be submitted; however, abstract-only submissions are also welcome.
Complete Paper submissions with text between 1800 and 3000 words in length are invited (excluding title and abstract). No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included. These papers must include an Abstract (400 words or fewer excluding title) for publication with the paper, with 15 words or fewer for paper title. No specific format, such as APA, is required.
All Full Paper submissions must conform to the Guidelines for Authors provided on the submission website. References, tables, and figures should be added to the end of the document and are not included in the word count. No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included.
All papers will be fully (double-blind) refereed, and those chosen for inclusion in the seminar will be published in the Pre-Conference Seminar Proceedings. Additionally, authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work as posters at the main ISME conference.
Abstract-only submissions
Please submit an abstract of up to 400 words.
3. POSTERS
Full-paper submissions that are not accepted for presentation as spoken papers at the Seminar will be considered for presentation as Posters at the seminar meeting. This is not to be confused with the poster presentation at the main ISME conference mentioned below. Additionally, submissions for poster presentations at the Seminar will be accepted. Abstracts of 400 words or fewer (excluding title) should be submitted for Poster consideration, with 15 words or fewer for paper title. References, tables, and figures should be added to the end of the document and are not included in the word count. No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included.
Authors of accepted Posters are invited to bring with them a Poster to display during the Seminar. Poster specifications (size, format, etc.) will be provided upon acceptance. Titles of the Poster will appear in the Seminar Program and the Abstracts will be printed in the Commission Proceedings. Posters will be grouped into sessions that have designated time slots during the Seminar.
4. DEMONSTRATIONS/WORKSHOP
Abstracts of 400 words or fewer (excluding title) should be submitted for demonstration/workshop consideration, with 15 words or fewer for paper title. References, tables, and figures should be added to the end of the document and are not included in the word count. No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included. The abstract should clearly provide background information, the purpose of the workshop, content, method, and applications for music education.
Sessions will have designated time-slots (normally a total of 60 minutes, consisting of no more than 45 minutes for the Workshop and 10 minutes for the discussion/questions, with 5 minutes between sessions).
Demonstration groups of pupils can only be used if all arrangements are organized by the presenter, because the organizing committee cannot provide for this. For demonstrations of software or other equipment authors will be responsible for ensuring that the necessary equipment is available. Submissions must therefore include a full description of the equipment and facilities needed.
5. SYMPOSIA
Symposia will consist of a set of integrated spoken papers related to a theme. Organized Symposia sessions are encouraged and expected to make a distinctive and creative contribution to the Seminar. The total time allowed for a Symposium will normally be 90 minutes, consisting of presentations and discussions according to the decisions of the convenor. Multiple sessions on a given topic will also be considered.
Symposia may include:
Each of the above types of Symposia will be chaired by a Symposium Convenor (chair) who will submit the main Abstract and individual Abstracts on behalf of the panel presenters. The convenor must ensure that all participants are ISME members who have registered for accounts in the Submission System prior to the submission. Any exceptions must be requested in advance of the submission.
The Symposium Convenor (panel chair) must supply all information using the required Submission Form. In addition, the Symposium Convenor must submit the following supporting materials:
