Scottish Album of the Year Award Art Award

Call for submissions

Developed by The Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA), The SAY Award is one of Scotland’s most ambitious and lucrative arts prizes. With £20,000 awarded to the winning album, nine runners-up prizes of £1,000 and two new Art Commissions celebrating emerging and established artistic practice, The SAY Award champions the strength and diversity of Scotland’s musical output and the vital, enduring relationship it shares with the world of visual art.

This year The SAY Award is partnering with the Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow to support a new art award designed to support more established artists based in Scotland.
