Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize & ARTES CEEH Scholarships
Due 31st January 2022 (GMT)
ARTES accepts applications for a number of awards each year, including:
The Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize
To encourage emerging scholars that are based in the UK, ARTES, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain, awards an annual essay medal to the author of the best art-historical essay or study on a Spanish theme, which must be submitted in competition and judged by a reading Sub-Committee. The medal is named after Juan Facundo Riaño (1829-1901), the distinguished art historian who was partly responsible for a growing interest in Spanish culture in late nineteenth-century Britain. The winner is also awarded a cash prize of £400, and the runner-up is awarded a certificate and prize of £100 – both prizes are generously sponsored by the Office for Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Embassy of Spain. Prize-winners also receive a year’s free membership to ARTES, and the winning essays are considered for publication in the annual visual arts issue of Hispanic Research Journal. See the information about eligibility and rules of competition. The deadline is 31st January each year.
ARTES CEEH Scholarships
Thanks to the generous support of CEEH (Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica), ARTES, awards a number of scholarships each year to students working on any aspect of Spanish visual culture before 1900. The deadline for all applications is 31st January each year and the Scholarship Committee usually informs successful applicants by 1st March. Scholarship winners are normally invited to an awards ceremony at the ARTES AGM in June.
CEEH travel scholarships of up to £1000 - Final year undergraduates and postgraduate students registered for a full or part-time degree course at a UK university may apply for up to £1000 towards the costs of travel to Spain for research purposes (which may include field work, attendance at a conference, or other recognised forms of research).
One CEEH scholarship for a UK PhD student who is working on Spanish art-historical subjects - ARTES offers one scholarship each year to a student registered for a full- or part-time doctoral degree at a UK university. The scholarship is intended to contribute towards the costs of tuition, living and/or research, and therefore students with full funding are not eligible.
One CEEH scholarship for a PhD or early career student who needs to travel to the UK to research Spanish visual culture - Doctoral students or those who received their doctorate less than four years before the application deadline may apply for this scholarship provided that they are that they were or are registered for doctoral study at a university in Spain.
