PRINCESS GRACE AWARD WINNERS

Princess Grace Awards identify and elevate emerging talent in theater, dance and film through game changing grants. The Awards program recognizes creative generators (animators, theater directors, designers, playwrights, choreographers, filmmakers, etc.) and performance based creatives (actors, dancers, etc.) and across all disciplines the primary emphasis is promise of extraordinary – evaluating extraordinary with a multi-prong definition of artistic intentionality, demonstration of technique in artistic practice, potential for innovation or impact of the artist on their field. Read more about the Princess Grace Awards program.

 

The Princess Grace Foundation-USA maintains a long-term commitment to its Award winners. Recognizing that an artist will continue to need both financial support and encouragement as they pursue their craft, the Princess Grace Foundation-USA offers exclusive funding opportunities to Award winners.
