The prize is open to both graduate, undergraduate students and recent graduates in arts administration and adjacent disciplines. The recipient of the prize will be announced at the AAAE’s conference in San Juan, and they will receive a $500 cash award. Attendance at the conference isn’t required but the winner will be welcome to present at the Conference. If they elect to do so, AAAE will waive the conference registration fee.
