gilbert bayes award for early career sculptors

The Gilbert Bayes Award for early career sculptors is given annually by the Society to a small group of outstandingly talented early career sculptors. The Award is a prestigious prize which supports the transition to professional practice and raises industry profile.

Selected by the sculptor members of the Society’s Board and a guest judge, the award provides vital support during what can be a difficult transition from study to professional practice.

Award recipients will also have the chance to apply for member-only opportunities as well as a residency based at Benson Sedgwick Engineering Ltd, a metal fabricator in East London.
