[Tamar Millen]

The search is on for 2015 Epic Award winners

UK and Ireland’s largest amateur cultural award opens for nominations.

Run by Voluntary Arts, the Epic Awards recognise and reward excellence 
and innovation in the amateur cultural sector. The 2015 Epic Awards are 
now open for entries and groups have until 16 March to nominate themselves.

Last year’s Epic Award winners included a drumming group who came 
together for the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, an arts festival 
in a remote Scottish village, an Irish poetry group that held sessions 
in their local park, and a Welsh knitting project that brought their 
entire community together, from farmers to ferrymen.
Across the UK and Republic of Ireland over 60,000 voluntary arts groups 
provide regular opportunities for cultural engagement in their local 
areas – the Epic Awards shine a spotlight on their achievements.

All voluntary-led arts groups are eligible to apply. Entries might include:

  * groups that formed interesting collaborations;
  * projects that engaged with their local community or beyond;
  * creative activity that inspired others or increased participation;
  * groups that used new ideas in innovative ways.
