The Dutch Prix de Rome is based on the originally French Prix de Rome and is awarded annually to architects and artists younger than 35. The award was initiated in 1807 by Louis Bonaparte, then ruler of the Kingdom of Holland, and confirmed after independence by William I of the Netherlands. It was canceled in 1851 by the statesman Johan Rudolph Thorbecke and reinstated in 1870 by William III of the Netherlands. From 1870 to 2011 the winners were selected by the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. [1] Since then, the Mondriaan Fund organises and finances the Prix de Rome.
In 2025 the prize is €60,000.
