From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
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.
