The Jerwood Sculpture Prize was launched in 2001 as an initiative of the
Jerwood Foundation . This commissioning prize aims to give support to emerging talent within the medium of outdoor sculpture. Since the inaugural Prize the intention has been that the commissioned work joins the Jerwood Foundation's Sculpture collection atRagley Hall .Originally open to artists under the age of 35, the second year of the prize saw the modification of the entry criteria so that all artists who are within 15 years of graduation from a recognised School of Art are eligible. Also, to remove anxieties about production and casting costs, the second year saw an increase in the value of the Prize, rising from £20,000 to £25,000.
It has evolved that the commission is offered approximately every eighteen months, as each Prize Year sees the full completion of the commission before the next Prize is launched.
