The Margaret Tait Award is a moving image prize for artists living and working in Scotland. It is named after the Orcadian filmmaker and writer Margaret Tait (1918–99).[1] Recipients of the award have included Alberta Whittle, Charlotte Prodger, Rachel Maclean and Torsten Lauschmann.

History[edit]

The Margaret Tait Award was established in 2010 by Glasgow Film, LUX Scotland, supported by Screen Scotland.[2] The Award is presented annually to a Scottish or Scotland-based artist working in moving image who has produced a significant body of work in the last 5 to 12 years.[3] The winner is awarded £15,000 to produce new work, which is exhibited at the next Glasgow Film Festival.

Selection process[edit]

Artists are selected based on an open call.[4] The winner is decided by a selected jury.
