The deadline for the next Rome Prize competition is November 1, 2010, with an extended deadline of November 15, 2010, for an additional fee.
The Rome Prize is awarded annually to thirty emerging artists and scholars in the early or middle stages of their careers. Prize winners are selected through an open competition that is juried by leading artists and scholars in the fellowship fields. They represent the highest standard of excellence in the arts and humanities and are chosen from the following disciplines:
Architecture
Design
Historic Preservation and Conservation
Landscape Architecture
Literature (awarded only by nomination)
Musical Composition
Visual Arts
Ancient Studies
Medieval Studies
Renaissance and Early Modern Studies
Modern Italian Studies
Rome Prize winners are invited to Rome for six months or eleven months to immerse themselves in the Academy community where they will enjoy a once in a lifetime opportunity to expand their own professional, artistic, or scholarly pursuits, drawing on their colleagues' erudition and experience and on the inestimable resources that Italy, Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Academy have to offer. Fellows are encouraged to work collegially within and across disciplines in pursuit of their individual artistic and scholarly goals. Rome Prize recipients are the core of the Academy's residential community, which also includes Residents and Visiting Artists and Scholars.
