Awards
DISTINGUISHED FEMINIST AWARD
At its October 2007 meeting, the CAA Board of Directors voted to establish a twelfth Award for Distinction: the Distinguished Feminist Award. The award honors a person who, through his or her art, scholarship, or advocacy, has advanced the cause of equality for women in the arts. A three-member jury, appointed by CAA’s Board president and the vice president for committees from an open call for nominations and self-nominations, selects the recipient each year, beginning in 2008 for the 2009 awards.
Submission Guidelines
- Each nomination should include a CV (limit two pages), a nomination form, and up to ten letters of support. Letters of support are important for reference, but the award decision is the responsibility of the jury based on its expert assessment of the qualifications of the nominees.
- Nominations for the 2009 award must be received by August 31, 2008. For more information, please write to Emmanuel Lemakis, CAA director of programs.
