The American Academy in Berlin is accepting applications from composers for the 2012 Berlin Prize in Music Composition until October 1, 2010. The Academy wishes to support an early to mid-career composer. Applicants must show significant professional activity as demonstrated by public performances, commissions and awards. The Academy will provide the composer in residence with new vistas and professional opportunities by supplying 1) a singular community of accomplished Americans from artistic, literary and scholarly worlds, 2) a distinctive venue for his or her music and 3) access to a valuable musical network. Fellowship benefits include round-trip airfare, housing at the Hans Arnhold Center, partial board and a stipend of $5,000 per month. Fellows are expected to be in residence at the Academy during the entire term of the award. To read the submission guidelines and to learn more about this opportunity, follow the link.
