Len Lye Foundation, New Plymouth, New Zealand
Prize: $1500 NZD
Deadline for submission: Friday 30 August 2024
This award, offered by the Len Lye Foundation, commemorates the artist Evan Webb (1952-2023) who was a key figure in the research and restoration of the work of Len Lye.
The award will be open to any researcher. The sum of $1500 will be given annually to the best original contribution to Lye scholarship from at least one of the following categories:
The length of the essay or proposal is not a key factor – what we are looking for is soundly-based, original work.
The prize will be annual, but the Len Lye Foundation will not be obliged to make an award if it considers than no application fully meets the criteria. If its current resources and the quality of entries permit, the Foundation may also offer a second, similar award, or enter into further discussion with the winner about a proposed engineering project or plans for research at the Lye archive.
The date for submission will be the end of August each year (starting Friday 30 August 2024) and the result will be announced by mid-October (starting Monday 14 October 2024). The winner will be selected by a committee of the Foundation.
Applications and questions should be sent to Roger Horrocks who is coordinating the award on behalf of the Foundation: [email protected]
If postal submission is necessary, the address is: Len Lye Foundation, c/o New Plymouth District Council, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Private Bag 2025, New Plymouth 4340, Aotearoa New Zealand.
