The Gershwin Hotel has the mandate to keep the endangered species alive: the children and the artists. This is an odd mission for a hotel but we are taking the means available to us, a marvelous creative house in Manhattan called the Gershwin Hotel, to feed this dream of ours.

Suzanne Tremblay & Urs JakobProgram Prizes
There are no cash prizes for this event. All the laureates gain international exposure by being sponsored by us. Many public relations efforts are put to ensure visibility and communication on the New York level as well as the international scene. Selection of the winners is by the vote from the jury (individuals actually involved in the arts!). The prizes consist of an offer of a room and a creative space that is shared with other creative persons for a specific amount of time (two weeks to two months). Services that are fundamental to the diffusion of creation are provided: fax and e-mail, exhibition space and vernissage and an occasional bottle of wine!
