Review process and notification

Artadia convenes nationally recognized panels of jurors from around the country for two rounds. In the first round a jury of three reviews all applications and determines a short-list of 15 finalists for the Artadia Awards that was announced in October. All applicants were informed of the results by email.

The second jury of three will meet with the short-listed Finalists for studio visits in Atlanta in late October for 45 minutes each, after which seven Artadia Awardees (2 awards at $15,000 and 5 at $3,000) will be announced. Please note that finalists are required to be physically present for the studio visits. Public programs with the Awardees will follow in 2012.
