REVIVE Sustainable Sculpture Award is championing reusing discarded materials to create beautiful works of art and encouraging creatives to encapsulate, harness or integrate a sustainable practice into their work. The theme of sustainability derived from the increasing climate concerns and communities wanting to be engaged in positive outcomes that helped the situation.
What emerged was the creation of Denmark’s first Art Award strengthening visual arts, 3 dimensional works and enlivening the town with inspiring art, showcasing the beauty and potential ‘second life’ of discarded materials.
Entries must incorporate a minimum of 50% of recycled materials, but the eARTh will love you more if you use more!
Prizes have grown and this year a fourth prize has emerged now awarding:
$2,000 Denmark Arts Grand Acquisitive Prize (Outdoor work)
$500 Small REVIVE Prize (Indoor work, not weather resistant)
$250 Amateur REVIVE Prize (Denmark Arts Membership)
$100 People’s Choice (Voted by the public)
An annual elemental theme is provided for those creatives who seek inspiration, but is not essential in the selection of the winners. The theme can be perceived and presented in any way the creative wants, e.g. inspired by, incorporated, holds, suggests, captures, highlights is completely up to the Creator.
