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]:ā5ā 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]
