Since the commission began over 30 years ago, we have worked with some of Ireland’s leading sculptors in a range of materials, always seeking to represent the power of partnership in new and interesting forms. This year, we are thrilled to work again with our production partner, Catapult, as our Award Sculpture Commissioning Partner.

2026 Award winners will be presented with ‘Intertidal’, created by Wexford-based artist Fiona Byrne. Inspired by the meeting point between land and sea, the glass sculpture on an ebonised wood base represents the liminal space where different worlds meet - reflecting the purposeful partnerships between business and the arts that the Awards celebrate.
