Art Awards

This prestigious biennial award is sponsored and delivered by the North York Moors Trust in partnership with the InspiredBy Gallery. It offers local artists a platform to capture and share their unique interpretations of the North York Moors—shaped by personal experiences, emotions, and connections to this extraordinary landscape.

For centuries, the natural world has inspired artists to explore and express their beliefs, emotions, and the evolving ideas that define artistic movements. Through their work, artists can rekindle our relationship with nature—whether by celebrating its raw beauty or challenging us to confront our complex and often fragile bond with the environment.

Art has the power to illuminate critical environmental issues, sparking conversations on conservation, sustainability, biodiversity, and the urgent need to protect threatened habitats. This award invites artists to engage deeply with these themes, creating work that not only reflects nature but also inspires action to safeguard its future.
