Prix de Rome (Canada)

The Prix de Rome is an award for architects from the Canada Council for the Arts

Established in 1987, the Prix de Rome is awarded to an architect or group of architects. Two annual awards are made: the Prix de Rome for professional architecture and the Prix de Rome in Architecture for Emerging Practitioners.

From 1987 to 2003 the award included a residency in a John Shnier-designed laureates' apartment in the Trastevere district of Rome.[1]: 5  The professional award currently consists of a $50,000 cash award, and the Emerging Practitioner award a $34,000 cash award.[2]

Due to uncertainty about travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 prizes were postponed to 2021, when two winners will be selected. [3]
