Support creativity, environmental art, and public engagement by sponsoring one of the TRAIL20 Awards as part of our 20th anniversary exhibition.
For twenty years, TRAIL has celebrated ambitious recycled sculpture, environmental awareness, and artistic creativity beside the sea. Our awards help recognise the artists, makers, schools, and community participants who help make TRAIL such a distinctive and inspiring exhibition each year.
Award sponsorship directly supports the ongoing delivery of TRAIL20 while also helping provide recognition and encouragement for participating artists and creative contributors.
All award sponsors will receive:
- Online advertisement and acknowledgement
- Presence on the TRAIL20 website
- Seafront acknowledgement during the exhibition
- Social media thank you posts and promotion
- Inclusion within TRAIL20 printed and media materials, where possible
- Invitation to the TRAIL20 Award Ceremony
THE ARTIST AWARD — £300
The Artist Award is one of TRAIL20’s principal awards and offers sponsors the opportunity to directly select the winning artwork.
The award will be presented in the sponsor’s name, with the sponsor invited to view the exhibition, choose the winning sculpture or installation, and present the award to the artist during the TRAIL20 Award Ceremony.
This award celebrates artistic ambition, originality, creativity, and impact within the exhibition.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD — £100
The Environmental Award recognises artwork that powerfully explores environmental themes, sustainability, climate awareness, conservation, or our relationship with the natural world.
The winning artwork will be selected by a local environmental representative or organisation connected to TRAIL20.
THE COMMUNITY AWARD — £100
The Community Award celebrates participation, inclusion, collaboration, and community creativity.
This award recognises artwork or projects that embody TRAIL’s long-standing ethos of bringing people together through creativity, accessibility, and shared making.
The award will be selected by The Makery @TAAG.
THE PUBLIC CHOICE AWARD — £100
The Public Choice Award is chosen through public voting during the exhibition and celebrates the artwork that most connects with visitors and audiences throughout TRAIL20.
This award reflects the importance of public engagement and TRAIL’s role as an open and accessible exhibition for all.
