Gilbert Bayes Award - for early career sculptors

The Gilbert Bayes Award for early career sculptors (previously the Bursary Awards) is given annually by the Royal Society of Sculptors to a small group of outstandingly talented sculptors. Selected by the sculptor members of the Society’s Board, the award provides vital support during what can be a difficult transition from study to professional practice.

Award winners receive a year’s worth of professional development (including talks from guest speakers working in commercial galleries, art charities and private collections), as well as inclusion in a group exhibition. In addition, winners receive free membership of the Society for a year with the opportunity to take half price membership the following year.
