Linbury Judges Announced The Linbury Prize for Stage Design, administered by the National Theatre and sponsored by the Linbury Trust, has announced this year's judges and the arts organisations with whom the finalists will be working. On the judging panel this year are designers Jon Bausor, Miriam Buether and Ian MacNeil, while the production companies the finalists will be designing for are the Lyric Hammersmith; Watermill Theatre, Newbury; The Opera Group; and ROH2 at The Royal Opera House. Twelve finalists get the chance to work with the four professional production companies and exhibit their work at the National Theatre. Four of the twelve will then win a commission to realise their designs with the participating companies, and one designer is awarded the overall winner's title. Some of the most important stage designers working today are previous winners of the Linbury Prize, including Tim Hatley, Anthony Ward and Vicki Mortimer. The Linbury Prize for Stage Design was founded by Anya Sainsbury CBE in 1987 as a springboard for recent graduates from theatre design courses around the UK, giving applicants an opportunity to work with professional theatre companies and to collaborate with writers, directors and technical teams at a crucial stage in their careers. The Linbury Prize for Stage Design is sponsored by the Linbury Trust, one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts. Applications open in May and close on 11th July. This year's finalists will be announced in July, with the overall winner announced in November. Full details, including how to enter, can be found on the Linbury Prize page on the National Theatre's website.
