SWAG is launching an annual Arts Awards for the west of West Sussex. The annual awards aim to honour the achievement of individuals who have made a significant contribution to the development, maintenance and provision of arts activities held in the SWAG region.
The Awards will acknowledge both the local household names in the arts and those unsung heroes and heroines of the arts.
There will be three categories, with a shortlist of three in each category. The categories are:
- A practitioner � an artist, singer,
sculptor, musician, writer, performer, dancer, mime artist, potter etc
� either working professionally or on a voluntary basis primarily
within the local region
- An individual making an outstanding
achievement in a voluntary capacity in the encouragement or local
provision of arts
- An individual making an outstanding
achievement in a paid or professional capacity in the encouragement or
maintenance of the arts in the SWAG area. Potential nominees will
include: arts administrators, education or arts
officers, publicists, local authority employees, teachers of art,
music, dance and speech, directors of festivals, arts venues, arts
projects and fringe projects.
There will be a panel of five judges, chaired by novelist Kate Mosse. What the judges will be
looking for is evidence of long-term commitment, quality and hard work
in providing, supporting, sustaining or maintaining the arts in the
SWAG region.
The presentations of a framed citation will be made at the SWAG
Symposium on 29 November 2007 at the Shoreline Hotel Bognor Regis.
