Awards
Beginning in 1981 the school awarded the Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts, which enabled students to interact with artists working in residence. These artists included Angela Lansbury, Arthur Miller, Ingmar Bergman, and Stephen Sondheim. It was announced in 2009 that the Meadows Award would be replaced by the Meadows Prize, an international arts residency. The prize allows up to four artists to interact with Meadows students and affiliated arts organizations and leave a lasting legacy in Dallas, whether a piece of artwork for the community or a new composition to be performed locally. The inaugural recipients were eighth blackbird and Creative Time.
Meadows alumni have won notable prizes including the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, Emmy Awards, and Academy Awards.
Advertising students placed first in the National Student Advertising Competition twice between 2002 and 2004. In two years, three CCPA students ranked in the top 10 of a PRWeekly competition.
