The South Bank Sky Arts Awards (originally The South Bank Show Awards) are an accolade recognising British achievements in the arts. The awards have been given annually since 1997. [1]

They originated with the long-running British arts programme The South Bank Show and Melvyn Bragg, who has served as patron, host and master of ceremonies of the awards since their inception. The last South Bank Show Awards ceremony to be broadcast by ITV was in January 2010 and was held at The Dorchester hotel in London. [2] After the network had announced that The South Bank Show would be cancelled at the end of the 2009 season, the awards ceremony continued to be broadcast by Sky Arts and was eventually renamed the South Bank Sky Arts Awards. [3] Sky Arts revived The South Bank Show itself in 2012. [4]

In addition to awards in each of the individual categories, the South Bank Sky Arts Awards also include the Outstanding Achievement in the Arts Award recognising lifetime contributions to the arts in Britain, and the Times Breakthrough Award recognising outstanding new British talent. The latter being the only category that is decided by a public vote. [6] Past winners of the Outstanding Achievement in the Arts Award include Julie Walters (2013), [7] Michael Frayn (2012), [8] Dame Judi Dench (2011), [9] JK Rowling (2008), and The Who (2007). [10]

Between 2004 and 2010, the Arts Council England deciBel Award (latterly the Arts Council England Diversity Award) found a home at the ceremony. Winners included Roy Williams for Fallout (2004), [11] Neil Biswas for Bradford Riots (2007), [12] Daljit Nagra for Look We Have Coming To Dover! (2008), [13] street artist Mohammed Ali (2009), [14] and Julie McNamara (2010). [15]

Later between 2013 and 2016, the ceremony was used as the platform to announce the winners of the Sky Academy Arts Scholarships. [16]
