Broomhill National Sculpture Prize

The Broomhill Art & Sculpture Foundation launched a brand new and unique national sculpture competition at the end of 2009, set to provide an exciting challenge for new and emerging UK based artists.

Broomhill Art Hotel sits in one of the most glorious valleys in North Devon, surrounded by hundreds of acres of woodland and bound by its own stream. The Broomhill Sculpture Park displays one of the largest permanent collections of contemporary art and sculpture in the South West. 300 sculptures by over 60 sculptors are sited in 10 acres of garden that present a wonderful balance between art and nature.

“The Broomhill Art Hotel’s sculpture forest has tongue-in-cheek humour that evokes Alice in Wonderland: nothing is quite as it first appears... My favorite was Greta Berlin's seven-meter red, patent-leather stiletto, which welcomes guests into the driveway of the intimate...bed-and-breakfast.” - from News Week 29 June 2009
