Half-term Rome Prize Fellowships are available in design. All applicants must hold an accredited degree and be practicing in the discipline. Applicants should submit materials that best display their qualifications and experience in the field of design. Included in design are: graphic, industrial, interior, exhibition, set, costume, and fashion design, urban design, city planning, engineering, and other design-related fields. Applicants must submit a proposal describing the project to be undertaken. Applicants must also submit a portfolio (in PDF format) of up to forty pages, in horizontal/landscape orientation, highlighting the applicant's concerns and interests in work to date. Work included should be the sole product of the applicant, or substantially the product of the applicant with the applicant's role in the work clearly noted. The jury has limited time, so applicants should make their portfolio succinct and easy to understand. If the PDF file exceeds the 10 MB upload limit, the applicant should send the portfolio on a USB drive to the American Academy in Rome's New York office. Three reference letters from professionals acquainted with the applicant and their work are also required. The deadline for applications is November 1. Applications will also be accepted between November 2 and 15 for an additional fee. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
