The Voluntary Arts Epic Awards - nominations now open!

23rd May 2019

Once a year, Voluntary Arts shines a spotlight on all the incredible creative activity that takes place across the UK and Ireland. If you, or anyone you know, has run a project you feel deserves recognition or your group has had a particularly good year, then let us know about it!

Previous Epic Award winners include an Aberdeenshire Christmas show that involved the entire community, a woodworking project for PTSD sufferers in Glasgow, and a visual arts trail in Dumfries & Galloway. Here's what one previous winner from 2012 had to say recently: “Our experience winning the Epic Award gave us such a boost in confidence that has lasted to the present day.”
