What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCadw, Welsh Government on behalf of the Welsh Ministers has announced a major competition to mark 2017’s Year of Legends. Two commissions are available for artists to create internationally recognisable artworks, installed at Wales' iconic heritage sites. Following on from the success of the 2016 Year of Adventure, the Year of Legends campaign aims to raise the profile of Wales’s tourism offer and attract even more visitors to Wales in 2017.
Nature has shaped Wales as a country full of visual drama and splendour. From the beginnings of our earliest times people added a stories to our wonderful landscapes; built castles and fought wars; forged industry, communities and inspired innovation; moulded artistic and sporting heroes. Wales is a country steeped in history with a vibrant 21st century culture; and there’s nowhere else in the world quite like it.
Taking inspiration from this legacy we challenge artists to devise creative and inspirational ways to celebrate legendary Wales.

Publisher note: Please note that whilst the value of each Lot ranges between 250,000GBP and 400,000GBP, this may vary following consultation and final designs. Where it states 5 at section IV.1.2 of this Notice, that means that 5 participants will be invited to each Lot – these will be the top scoring 5 for each Lot who pass the qualification criteria. The contract duration is up to 2 years or until the artwork is fully completed and installed, this is because the contract duration may be dependent on the artwork proposed.
