The Gilbert Bayes Award is designed to recognise emerging talent and provide invaluable support on the journey from study to professional practice.

The Gilbert Bayes Award bestows serious recognition, a platform for the winners’ work and two public exhibitions. The group show opens at Dora House before travelling to the Art House in Wakefield. In addition, the winners have benefited from a year of development - a unique programme which prepares them for life in the professional sphere, including learning how to photograph sculpture and work with curators.

The winners were selected by the sculptor members of the Society’s board and guest judges Clemency Cooke and Charlotte Latham, founders of Cooke Latham Gallery.
