Provided by Voluntary Arts Network, the development agency for arts participation, the Epic Awards are designed to draw attention to work taking place within the voluntary and amateur arts sector. The awards aim to provide these groups with the opportunity to raise their profile and to win a package of prizes including training, equipment and publicity.
Following the success of the first Epic Awards in 2010, which ran across England only, the sponsor has decided to extend the 2011 scheme to groups across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
The awards will be made under the following four categories:
- Engagement
- Partnerships
- Innovation
- Creativity
Successful groups receive an electronic Epic Award winner pack including logo and branding that can be used on all communication, if desired. The winner of each of the four categories will receive £250 worth of gift vouchers and runners-up will receive £100 worth of gift vouchers. These can be redeemed at GreatArt. Each winning group will also receive annual membership of Arts Development UK, worth £165.
Voluntary or amateur art and craft groups/organisations in the United Kingdom and Ireland are eligible to apply ie:
- those arts and crafts that people undertake for self-improvement, social networking and leisure, but not primarily for payment;
- groups that are self-organised;
- not-for-profit groups.
The deadline for receipt of entries is 11 November 2011 (5pm).
