The Broomhill National Sculpture Prize is a competition that was launched in 2009 by the The Broomhill Art and Sculpture Foundation to provide an exciting challenge for new and emerging UK-based sculptors.
“As Broomhill celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year - I wanted to mark the occasion with this contest, which brings together the brightest and best new sculptors in the country and allows them to showcase their work in our unique sculpture park.” Rinus van de Sande (Broomhill owner)
In its third year we are introduced to another Ten talented sculptors - handpicked by the 2012 judging panel to go head to head in a Summer exhibition.
The 2012 National Sculpture Prize exhibition features works by Oliver Adams, Edward Baldwin, Ann Balmforth, Michael Branthwaite, Richard Cresswell, Mary George, Graham guy robinson, Robert Hitzeman, Helen snell and Ian Stoney who have all received £1,000 to bring their works to life at Broomhill. They now compete for the judges’ first prize of £3,500 and a permanent place in the Broomhill Art and Sculpture Foundation collection.
“The NSP exhibition showcases the extraordinary talent that the UK harbours, the sculptors this year have excelled themselves and many have exceeded the brief and our expectations with displays of expert craftsmanship, sharp concepts and courageous use and manipulation of materials.” Rinus van de Sande
A ‘Public Speaks’ voting ballot is open for the duration of the competition, culminating in a £1,500 prize for the artist whose sculpture receives the most votes from the public. The public is invited to vote for their favourite NSP sculpture at Broomhill or online here. (The ‘Judges’ and the ‘Public Speaks’ winner will be announced in October 2012.)
The final ten sculptures are now on display at Broomhill until 2013.
