The Prix de Rome is an award for architects from the Canada Council for the Arts
Established in 1987, the Prix de Rome is awarded to an architect or group of architects. Two annual awards are made: the Prix de Rome for professional architecture and the Prix de Rome in Architecture for Emerging Practitioners.
