The Prix de Rome is the oldest and largest incentive prize for young artists and architects (up to age 35) in the Netherlands. Since 1985 it is awarded in ten disciplines - two disciplines per year: Architecture and Urban & Landscape Architecture, Sculpture and Visual Arts & Public Space, Photography and Film & Video, Painting and Theatre & Visual Arts, Drawing and Graphics. Annually two international juries are composed of four artists/architects, and a theoretician, gallery owner or curator, two of whom from abroad. The chairman (without voting right) of both juries is Janwillem Schrofer, Managing Director of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam.
The Prix de Rome has a preliminary and a final round. As a result of the works submitted and interviews, the jury selects a maximum of four candidates in each discipline for the final round. These candidates create new work during the three-month working period on the basis of which the jury ultimately awards the prizes. During the working period the final round candidates have a studio at the Rijksakademie at their disposal.

The Prix de Rome was originally established in 1817 by William I - following the French example. In 1870 the state prize was decreed by law at the Rijksakademie by King William III. In 1985 the organisation of the Prix de Rome was modernised simultaneously with the reorganisation of the Rijksakademie: higher prize money, more scope for participants, etc. Since then, both the importance of and the interest in the Prix de Rome have increased considerably, on the one hand in the number of participants, on the other hand from the media and the professional art world. The Prix de Rome is organised by the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCenW) finances the prize monies and the organisational costs. The Rijksakademie defrays the staff costs.
