In even years, the honorary awards are granted to Danish sculptors. The awards are handed out in connection with an exhibition with the sculptors’ pieces arranged by the foundation.
The honorary award to sculptors was granted for the first time in 1960 and amounted to DKK 15,000. The first recipient was the sculptor Helge Holmskov. In total 60 sculptors have now received honorary awards from the foundation.
The next time honorary awards will be granted to sculptors, will be in the fall of 2020.
