The Phillips Book Prize

The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art offers an
annual prize for an unpublished manuscript presenting new research in
modern or contemporary art from 1880 to the present. Preference will be
given to applicants whose research focuses on subjects related to The
Phillips Collection's areas of collecting. The winning author will
receive $5,000, and his/her manuscript will be published by the
University of California Press as part of a series of first books
sponsored by The Phillips Collection's Center for the Study of Modern
Art. Scholars who received their Ph.D.s within the past five years are
strongly encouraged to apply.

Deadline for receipt of applications is January 15, 2009.

Applications must be sent in two forms, via email and hard copy. To
apply, send: a cover letter; CV; abstract of the proposed book (one page
maximum); and a book proposal (8-10 pages). The book proposal should
include: a project overview; chapter outlines; a plan for the revision
of the manuscript; a description of the book's position in the
literature of modern or contemporary art. Application packages, plus
three letters of recommendation to be sent under separate cover, should
be sent to:
