The Phillips
Book Prize

The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art announces an annual prize of $5,000, called The Phillips Book Prize, for a first book manuscript that clearly communicates new research in modern or contemporary art from 1880 to the present. The winner will have his or her manuscript published by the University of California Press - part of a series of first books - and will be invited to give public presentations at the Phillips in fall 2007.

The jury will favor those subjects related to the artists and interests reflected in The Phillips Collection's areas of collecting. Authors who have completed a Ph.D. within the preceding five years are especially encouraged to apply. Scholars who have had books published are not eligible.

HOW TO ENTER: Entries must include a cover letter; CV; three letters of recommendation sent under a separate cover; book abstract (one page); and a proposal (8 - 10 pages), including an overview of the project, chapter outlines, plan for revision of the manuscript into a book, and scholarly area of focus within the field of modern/contemporary art.

Send eight copies to:
Kate Stilwill
Center for the Study of Modern Art
The Phillips Collection
1600 21st St., NW
Washington, D.C. 20009
kstilwill@phillipscollection.org

WHEN:The proposal deadline (January 15, 2007) has passed for the 2007 award. If an author is selected as a finalist, the complete manuscript must be submitted for consideration by March 2, 2007, prior to an interview with the jury in Washington, D.C. The winner will be announced in mid-April 2007.

Dates for next year's submission deadline will be posted soon.
