Sense Scotland
8th Helen Keller International Award
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
4th April - 4th May 2009
Entrants Information Pack
Deadline for Applications -19th December 2008
Main

First Prize £1500
Runners-up £200
Under 16s
First Prize £100
The 8th Helen Keller International Award
Dr Helen Keller, the deafblind woman known worldwide for her
inspirational life and work, visited Scotland in 1933 with her teacher Anne
Sullivan to accept an honorary degree from the University of Glasgow. On this
trip she established a trust fund to be
applied in the interests of deafblind people.
Sense Scotland became trustees of this fund in 1989, transforming it
from an annual essay competition, into the Helen Keller Award, a multi-media
art competition open to professional and non-professional artists. Now
coordinated biannually, the Award attracts an ever-increasing number of entries
from artists across the world.
The competition brief:
The competition aims to challenge the perceptions of deafblindness. This
is interpreted in many different ways, eliciting a diverse array of artwork in
a broad range of media. It also includes the submission of work by artists who
are deafblind themselves.
General Entry Info/Guidelines
Up to two pieces of work per person in any artistic medium may be
submitted. The work must in some way challenge the perceptions of
deafblindness. Pieces will be selected and judged by an independent panel. The
decision of the selection panel and judging panel is final and binding.
Main Criteria for the Award
1. Artform
The work can be in any art form that can be presented in an
exhibition space. The competition and exhibition combines visual
arts, film, music and literature, obviously dependant on the entries
submitted although the bulk tends toward the visual arts. Many
pieces are tactile and incorporate the use of all the senses, others
are based on the everyday environments and interests of disabled people.
2. Authorship
The work can be by an individual artist or group of artists. All
participants should be credited or a group name given. Artists can be
professional or amateur and can remain anonymous. (All artists will be
anonymous to the judging panel).
3. Number of Entries
No more than two entries will be accepted per individual/group.
4. Brief and Theme
Work MUST challenge perceptions of deafblindness or sensory
impairment.
Where possible the theme should be addressed directly. If
the content of the work is not clearly addressing the theme, but there
are other ways in which the piece challenges perceptions, then this should be
explained in the application process.
5. Access
Access to art works should be considered by the artists. Many art
works submitted are tactile and appeal to all senses in some way or
form. Whilst there is no stipulation on how accessible an art work
should be, Sense Scotland asks you to consider how the widest audience
might enjoy and experience your work. Sense Scotland will
provide audio descriptions and Braille labels and guides to support
this.
Work selected for exhibition will also be photographed and
made accessible on the Sense Scotland website. A long-listing process
has been used to ensure that ONLY work relevant
to the brief is accepted for exhibition. The judging is integral to
the selection of work to be displayed in the exhibition.
Judging
The competition is unique in that the identity of artists remains
undisclosed until after judging is complete, with all work judged
solely on its artistic merit and on how it challenges perceptions of
deafblindness and sensory impairment.
Judges for the 7th Award were Pauline McLean (BBC Scotland,
Arts Correspondent), Monica Callaghan (Head of Education,
Hunterian Art Gallery), Matthew Dalziel (Fine Art Department, University
of Dundee), Mark O’Neill, (Glasgow City Council) and
Francis McKee, (Curator, Glasgow International. Other judges at
previous Awards have included sculptor Kenny Hunter.
International Entries
The inclusive nature of this art competition has helped it to grow
in both size and profile, and last year we had entries from artists
in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland,
France, Holland, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, Sweden,
Ukraine, USA and all over the UK.
Awards
The 8th Helen Keller International Award will include new specially
commissioned awards created by Sense Scotland artists for runners
up and for the winner of the Under 16 category.

Keller International Award with a winner receiving £100 and two
runners up.
