Prizes to be announced. Sculpture by the Sea is inclusive of all modes of sculpture. This allows the exhibition to demonstrate to the public, sculpture's history and development. One of the specific challenges for sculptors is the environment: landscape, its conditions and history. Sculpture by the Sea gives full recognition to the artists' freedom to balance artistic vision and the challenge of place. This curatorial policy will be used by the Curatorial Panel when considering all artist submissions.
