We invite MAS members to submit nominations for the 2008 Brendan Gill Prize. The prize is awarded annually to the creator of a specific work — a book, essay, musical composition, play, painting, sculpture, architectural design, film or choreographic work — completed in the previous year that best captures the spirit and energy of New York City.

Endowed to permit a cash award, the 2008 prize will honor a single work completed in 2007. The award is not intended to honor an individual’s lifetime achievements.

Deadline for entries is Friday, April 18. To submit your nomination, you can either download the nomination form and mail it to the address below, or e-mail it to pcohen@mas.org.
