8th Helen Keller International Award Glasgow Royal Concert Hall 4th April - 4th May 2009

Entrants Information Pack Deadline for Applications - 19th December 2008 Download the 8th Helen Keller International Award Registration Form. Main Category First Prize £1500 Runners-up £200 Under 16s First Prize £100 Dr Helen Keller, the deafblind woman known worldwide for her inspirational life and work, visited Scotland in 1933 with her teacher Anne Sullivan to accept an honorary degree from the University of Glasgow. On this trip she established a trust fund to be applied in the interests of deafblind people. Sense Scotland became trustees of this fund in 1989, transforming it from an annual essay competition, into the Helen Keller Award, a multi-media art competition open to professional and non-professional artists. Now coordinated biannually, the Award attracts an ever-increasing number of entries from artists across the world. The competition brief: The competition aims to challenge the perceptions of deafblindness. This is interpreted in many different ways, eliciting a diverse array of artwork in a broad range of media. It also includes the submission of work by artists who are deafblind they. General Entry Info/Guidelines Up to two pieces of work per person in any artistic medium may be submitted. The work must in some way challenge the perceptions of deafblindness. Pieces will be selected and judged by an independent panel. The decision of the selection panel and judging panel is final and binding. Main Criteria for the Award Art form The work can be in any art form that can be presented in an exhibition space. The competition and exhibition combines visual arts, film, music and literature, obviously dependent on the entries submitted although the bulk tends toward the visual arts. Many pieces are tactile and incorporate the use of all the senses, others are based on the everyday environments and interests of disabled people. Authorship The work can be by an individual artist or group of artists. All participants should be credited or a group name given. Artists can be professional or amateur and can remain anonymous. (All artists will be anonymous to the judging panel). Number of Entries No more than two entries will be accepted per individual/group. Brief and Theme Work MUST challenge perceptions of deafblindness or sensory impairment. Where possible the theme should be addressed directly. If the content of the work is not clearly addressing the theme, but there are other ways in which the piece challenges perceptions, then this should be explained in the application process. Access The artists should consider access to art works. Many art works submitted are tactile and appeal to all senses in some way or form. Whilst there is no stipulation on how accessible an art work should be, Sense Scotland asks you to consider how the widest audience might enjoy and experience your work. Sense Scotland will provide audio descriptions and Braille labeling and guides to support this. Work selected for exhibition will also be photographed and made accessible on the Sense Scotland website. A long-listing process has been used to ensure that ONLY work relevant to the brief is accepted for exhibition. The judging is integral to the selection of work to be displayed in the exhibition. Judging The competition is unique in that the identity of artists remains undisclosed until after judging is complete, with all work judged solely on its artistic merit and on how it challenges perceptions of deafblindness and sensory impairment. Judges for the 7th Award were Pauline McLean (BBC Scotland, Arts Correspondent), Monica Callaghan (Head of Education, Hunterian Art Gallery), Matthew Dalziel (Fine Art Department, University of Dundee), Mark O’Neill, (Glasgow City Council) and Francis McKee, (Curator, Glasgow International. Other judges at previous Awards have included sculptor Kenny Hunter. International Entries The inclusive nature of this art competition has helped it to grow in both size and profile, and last year we had entries from artists in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Holland, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, USA and all over the UK. Awards The 8th Helen Keller International Award will include new specially commissioned awards created by Sense Scotland artists for runners up and for the winner of the Under 16 category. Winner - The Helen Keller International Award The winner receives a specially designed trophy and cheque for £1500. Two Highly Commended Runners Up - The E.D.G.D. Fairfull-Smith and the G.W.

Under 16s - The Neil Fairfull-Smith Awards There is also a category for Under-16s piloted for the 7th Helen Keller International Award with a winner receiving £100 and two runners up. Previous Helen Keller Award Winners 7th Helen Keller Award The winning piece was 'Love Colour' - Light, Wood and Perspex, an illuminated heart of bright colour and flashing lights.

Winner of the under sixteen category - 'Deaf Blind People' - Poster Paint - Hannah Duncan (Scotland) 6th Helen Keller Award The winner was Welsh artist Matthew Humphreys, whose film 'The Lost Reels' was a moving piece about his father who was deaf and then became blind. This award received over 220 entries from 9 countries and exhibited in the Collins Gallery. 5th Helen Keller Award The winning entry came from Gill Horn for her piece titled 'I don't know' which comprised of a series of heads with veils, glasses and headphones offering a very direct look at deafblindness, with some subtle touches such as hand written Braille round the veils. Over 180 artists entered and exhibited in the Kelvingrove Gallery. 4th Helen Keller Award The winning entry came from Joseph Fenton for an acrylic painting. Peter Howson donated a pastel drawing, the auction of which raised £1,300 for Sense's Arts Development Programme.

In this case artists must ensure that their work can be hung with eyelet hooks. Work must be able to have hanging rings screwed into them. This will be done by Sense Scotland and work must not be submitted with these attached, as these can cause damage while in storage or transit. Metal or clip frames must not be used due to safety issues. Work must not exceed 5ft(h) x 4ft(W) due to space restrictions. Exhibition criteria for 3-D work Due to space constraints we advise entrants to carefully consider the scale of work they intend to submit with particular regard to width and depth. Work should also be of a weight that is safe for handling. In exceptional circumstances where we are unable to accommodate selected work at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall we may contact you to agree an alternative way to represent the piece in exhibition. If work needs to be assembled and is long listed, you will need to provide detailed installation instructions and please keep assembly simple. Exhibition criteria for live and digital arts and installation work Performance art and or large installations will need to be represented through documentation or film.

Film/Media We can accept any file types that are not software specific e.g. jpeg, tiff, eps, mpeg, avi or any DVD or CD materials. Photography and multi-media These art forms will be accepted, but must be submitted in the same way as 2D work. Entries must be considered as art works. The panel will not consider documentaries in the Award unless they have a strong aesthetic approach. Literature and Poetry We will accept literary work that can be displayed in the context of an exhibition. Terms and Conditions Care of Work Every reasonable effort will be made by Sense Scotland to care for artwork received. However, Sense Scotland will not be liable for any damage that occurs to work during the course of the competition.
