Overview

Established in 1994, the International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Awards competition was created for the recognition and advancement of undergraduate and graduate student excellence in sculpture. In partnership with educational institutions around the world, this award program encourages faculty members to nominate students that demonstrate exceptional talent in the contemporary sculpture field.

Award recipients participate in an exhibition hosted by Grounds For Sculpture (Hamilton, NJ) and a traveling exhibit hosted by an esteemed arts organization in a location TBD.  Award recipient work is also featured in Sculpture magazine.  Each award recipient receives a one-year ISC membership and the chance to apply for a full, sponsored residency to study in Switzerland with world-renowned sculptor Heinz Aeschlimann. 

Nominations open January 1, 2012 and close March 23, 2012.
