The Prix de Rome is the oldest and most generous Dutch “state” prize for artists and architects (younger than 35). The prize focuses on excellence and professionalisation in an international context, tracing talent and spotting trends in the Netherlands. In 2008 the Prix de Rome celebrated its bicentennial in the Netherlands. 

 

The Prix de Rome Visual Arts is organised once every two years, the Prix de Rome Architecture once every four years. The prize is as follows, winner € 45,000, runner-up € 20,000 and two basic prizes € 10,000 each.
