Blair Dickinson Prize

The 24th Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize will be awarded by the School of Art at this year’s Commencement ceremonies to an undergraduate or graduate woman who has pursued studio art courses in the school, including graphic design, drawing, painting, photography, filmmaking/video, printmaking or sculpture.

The prize of $24,000 is open to both art majors and non-majors.

Applicants must submit a one-page, double-spaced, 12-point typed statement of not more than 500 words describing their goals, their work and the ideas it represents. They should include no more than 10 images of their work on a Macintosh OS-formatted CD and a hard-copy thumbnail inventory listing date, dimensions, medium and title, if any. The images should relate to the statement as the statement will be read aloud as they are shown. In addition to still images, if work is time-based, a single Quick Time video no longer than two minutes in length may be included in place of the 10th image.

Applications are due by April 28 and should be sent to the Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize Committee, Yale University School of Art, Rm. 122, 1156 Chapel St., New Haven, CT 06520-8339.
