Name an Award

From as little as L5 a month for a Commended Award, to our top Scholarship Award which offers talented offender artists 10 mentoring sessions with a professional artist, naming an Award can be one of the most direct and satisfying ways to get involved with the Koestler Trust.

Benefits of Naming an Award:

1. You name the award! – for yourself, for an organization, or as an exciting and unusual gift for a loved one e.g. The Sarah Batchelor Platinum Award for Oil Painting.

2. Your award name will appear on the winner’s certificate, letting them know there is support for their work on the outside.

3. We send you a photo or copy of the artwork that wins your award each year.

4. We invite you to events throughout the year, including sending you two invitations to the private opening of our national exhibition – an event exclusively for sponsors, artists, staff and press.

5. You will be named as a sponsor wherever your award-winning artwork appears – at our national exhibition, on our website, or in our merchandise and publications. The higher the award you sponsor; the more widely it will be seen.
