About
The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award (MTSA), administered by Standpoint Gallery in London, is an annual award for sculptors selected from an open call by a panel of guest judges including the previous winner. There is no age limit and applicants are judged on the quality of their work. The winner receives £10,000 towards the production of new work, a funded solo exhibition at Standpoint in 2027 and inclusion in the award's National Touring Programme, with Standpoint providing mentoring and arranged studio visits over the twelve-month period.
