Thatcher Hoffman Smith Prize

Call for Entries for $40,000 Prize

The biennial Thatcher Hoffman Smith Creativity in Motion Prize to be awarded in 2007.

Nominations for the biennial $40,000 Thatcher Hoffman Smith Creativity in Motion Prize honoring the creative process are being sought by the University of Oklahoma College of Arts and Sciences. The prize was established in 2002 to recognize and encourage the process of creativity as it unfolds and is expressed by individuals in diverse ways. The deadline for Phase One of the application process is Nov. 15.

Oklahoma City supporter and award founder Jeanne Hoffman Smith says she established the award to further society’s awareness of and focus on this important and often under-explored area. “The goal of the prize is to stimulate a better understanding of the creative process itself and to motivate creative individuals to develop their own original ideas into projects,” she says. “We are excited to announce the third round of submissions for this biennial prize.”

“The prize has no boundaries. This means it is not an art award or a history award or a writing award or a medical award. It’s a creative award. That’s where the world is going in all fields,” said last year’s recipient, Steven C. Levi.
