- The “Call for Papers” is OPEN and we will only accept online submissions.
- Before filling out the online form, please review the following documents:
- The 2024 Conference Proposal Review Information provides information on items that reviewers will be paying attention to, and provides more information on the proposal question related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- The 2024 Call For Papers PDF is a document that includes all of the questions so you can have a hard copy to refer to. Please DO NOT use this to turn in your call for papers.

- The Mid-Atlantic Region of the American Music Therapy Association seeks to acknowledge and repair the oppressive structures placed upon our historically marginalized music therapy colleagues and students. With this in mind, we are providing compensation in the form of free conference registration for historically marginalized music therapy members. We recognize the emotional labor required in both constructing and presenting these sessions. To receive this free conference registration:
- Individuals must be from a historically marginalized community (e.g. Asian, Black, Disabled, Indigenous, Latinx, LGBTQIA2+, North African, South-West Asian)
- MAR-AMTA recognizes Affinity Groups as those who represent historically marginalized and oppressed community members.
- Individuals must submit their presentation within the “Call for Papers” call period.
- Presentations must undergo the anonymous review process and receive a passing score.
- In the “Call for Papers,” individuals must select “yes” in the corresponding section for this compensation.
- The Vice-President for Conference Planning will have sole access to this identifying information and will not question or police individuals identity.
