Yarışmalar-Competitions

The Carter Manny Award, an annual fellowship offered by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, supports
research for academic dissertations by promising scholars whose doctoral projects focus on topics directly concerned with
architecture, the built environment, and other arts that are immediately contributive to architecture. Scholars whose dissertations
are directed toward architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, architectural technologies, architectural history and
theory, urban design and planning, and, in some circumstances, the fine arts in relation to architectural topics are eligible to
apply.

The award is restricted to applicants who have completed their course work, who have advanced to candidacy, and whose dissertation
proposals have been approved by their academic departments. Only students enrolled in schools in the U.S. and Canada are eligible to
apply. The award will be acknowledged by financial support of up to $15,000. Academic departments may nominate one student for the
award competition each year, and a student may not apply more than once for the award.

The postmark deadline for nominated applications is 15 March 2005. For further instructions on how to apply for a Carter Manny Award, as well as a list of previous award recipients, please consult the Graham Foundation's Web site at www.grahamfoundation.org
