Applicants must demonstrate financial need. For our purposes,
"early career" is a flexible term that should be interpreted liberally to include artists who have finished their
academic work within twelve years from the year that the prize is awarded. For example, a person who finished
their studies in 1999 is eligible to apply in 2011, but not in 2012. Age is not determinative, and artists who have
not earned BFAs or MFAs are still eligible so long as they have not been working as an artist for more than twelve years. |
