Epic Awards

13/02/2017 By Whale Arts

We are delighted to announce our WHALEs Without a Cause drama group has been shortlisted for the 2017 Epic Awards. Well done to all involved!

The Epic Awards are an initiative of Voluntary Arts, and since 2010 have been shining a light on the diversity of voluntary-led creative cultural activity across the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Voluntary Arts Scotland Director Jemma Neville commented:

It is fantastic to have such a diversity of entries from across Scotland this year. From Ballet Hebrides in Lewis to WHALE Arts in Wester Hailes and from community-led festivals to crafting stringed instruments, and everything in between, Scotland’s voluntary arts sector is thriving and worthy of recognition.

The Epic Award judges will pick a Scotland winner and runner-up at the beginning of March, but there is also an opportunity for the group to win the People’s Choice Award.

Please vote for the group here under ‘WHALE Arts’: http://www.voluntaryarts.org/epic-awards-shortlist

Voting will close at midnight on Sunday 5 March 2017.
