The centrepiece of the prize is a three-month Classical Design Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, the premier American overseas centre for independent study and research in the fine arts and humanities. The total award will include Academy fees, travel allotment and an award stipend. The proposed three-month stay must occur between September of the prize year and May of the following year.
