Princess Grace Awards Program

by Chris Maust
(Harrisonburg, VA)

The Princess Grace Awards is a national program dedicated to identifying and assisting emerging theater, dance, and film artists who are at the outset of their careers or at early stages of professional development. Working in conjunction with nominating schools and non-profit companies, Princess Grace Awards recognize the talent of individual artists in theater, dance, and film.

This unique collaborative process fills vast voids in the artistic community: scholarships, apprenticeships, and fellowships give emerging artists the financial assistance and moral encouragement to focus on artistic excellence; monetary support for the nominating organizations eases fund raising challenges, directing resources toward the creative process.

The Princess Grace Film Awards help support students’ thesis film projects at the undergraduate and graduate level. The category of Film is comprised of (but not limited to) narrative/documentary/experimental/animation/hybrid film and video work, as well as new media work including media installations, transmedia, webisodes, interactive web work and other projects where the moving image is the primary component.

The next available grant period for all Princess Grace Awards is September 1, 2017 - August 31, 2018.
