The Roy Crane Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts is given each year to a student of The University of Texas at Austin for unique, creative effort in the performing, literary and visual arts. An undergraduate or graduate student from any major or area of study may compete for the award. The selection committee will give no weight to any entrant’s grade point average or other academic achievement.

There are two $3,000 awards. To ensure that an entrant’s work may be compared with similar forms of creativity, each year the award committee designates an area of the arts.

To compete for the award, a student must be recommended by a faculty member. The recommendation must be for one’s creative effort while a student at UT Austin. Research or analysis does not qualify. No faculty member may nominate more than two students for the award.

In 2015 the award will be given in the Literary Arts.
