At its principal site in Rome, the Academy operates a program of fellowships and residencies that has at its core the development of gifted American artists and scholars. Program Name Rome Prize Competition Program Contact Program Phone Program Email [email protected] Year Program Founded 0 Description of Program Rome Prize winners pursue independent projects, which vary in content and scope, for periods ranging from six to eleven months at the Academy in Rome, Italy. Categories are: Architecture/Design/Landscape Architecture, Historic Preservation and Conservation, Musical Composition, and Visual Arts. The Academy's Rome Prize winners are part of a residential community of 65 to 70 people each year. The artists and scholars who make up this multidisciplinary community also have the opportunity to foster their work through exchanges with members of the Italian and European artistic and scholarly communities. Each Rome Prize winner is provided with a stipend, meals, a bedroom with private bath, and a study or studio. Those with children under 18 live in partially subsidized apartments nearby. Winners of 6-month and 11-month fellowships receive stipends of $15,000 and $27,000, respectively. Owing to the fluctuating dollar/euro exchange rate and the high cost of living in Rome, the stipends offered may not cover all expenses. This is especially true for prize winners who come to Rome with spouses, companions and/or children.

The juries convene from January through March, and finalists may be required to come to New York at Academy expense to be interviewed. The primary criterion for selection is excellence, as perceived both in achievement and in promise. Jurors consider the quality of submitted application materials and the interviews for what these reveal about past achievement and the potential for future development. A jury may select any candidate it judges to be outstanding in his or her field and at a point in the individual's career where the Rome Prize experience would be critical to future growth and accomplishment. Since an important aspect of what the Academy offers to Rome Prize winners is exposure to Rome, all other factors being equal, preference will be given to those applicants who have not had extensive prior experience living and studying and/or working in Rome. Notification Process All applicants will be notified by mid-March. Are awardees required to submit a Final Report? False Awardee's Public Service Requirement?
