The Classical Roman Arts Foundation is thrilled to announce the fifth edition of the Ecco Echo Award, celebrating contemporary creators whose work resonates with the spirit, techniques, and stylistic influence of ancient Roman art.
This year, the award offers €1,000 for the acquisition of certain usage rights (to be negotiated) of the selected artwork. The Ecco Echo Award recognizes submissions that are imaginative, technically ambitious, and imbued with classical Roman inspiration—whether those echoes take physical or digital form.
Who can participate?
Artists and researchers, age 18 or older, of any nationality—but with a clear connection to Rome.
Submissions are accepted in two categories:
Physical works – such as paintings, sculptures, drawings, mixed-media constructions
Digital works – submitted via USB, program, or other electronic media.
How can one apply?
Fill out the online application form, which can be found in the link below. Make sure to send the required materials (CV, technical & critical descriptions, documentation of the work) by September 30th 2025, to contact@classicalromanartsfoundation.org
