Artworks Awards Scheme
Following the cessation of the Foundation's funding, in 2005 we decided to undertake a full assessment of the
impact of the Artworks Awards scheme, as wider ministerial interest, and a growing engagement with art in
schools, made us look again at the form and future of the Awards. In close liaison with our partners -
including schools, museums, galleries, artists, education bodies and the media - we worked on a major
consultation and feasibility study to explore a number of options for further growth and development.
It is now hoped that Artworks: Young Artists of the Year Awards will be re-launched in a fresh new
format - this time organised and run by Tate. We will continue to post relevant information on
this site, including the launch date (when it is known), entry criteria and key contacts, so do please check
back to this and the Awards page for updates.
In the meantime, do continue to browse this section of the website, where you will find details of Award
winners from the past five years, with examples of their work; previous application procedures and guidelines;
and the criteria set by the Judges since 2000, to find the best of art education taking place in schools across
the UK.
