For over 20 years, the Dewar Arts Awards has supported talented young people to overcome financial barriers and flourish in the arts.

The Dewar Arts Awards celebrate and support exceptional young artists across Scotland. Trustees look for candidates who have demonstrable outstanding ability and talent, strong artistic and creative ambition, and are able to show real passion for their chosen artform, project or practice. Trustees direct their support towards those exceptional candidates who are able to demonstrate genuinely limited financial means.

To be considered for a Dewar Arts Award, an applicant must:
– Be under the age of 30
– Live or work in Scotland
– Demonstrate outstanding talent in any artform
– Be without the financial means to achieve their full potential

Trustees will also want to know how receiving a Dewar Arts Award would directly help the applicant achieve their artistic and creative goals.

The Trustees are committed to inclusion and diversity and are keen to hear from young people of all backgrounds including those who may be care experienced or from under-represented communities.
