Gawad CCP para sa Sining

The Gawad CCP Para sa Sining ( CCP Awards for the Arts ), which is given every three years, or triennial event is awarded to artists or groups of artists who have consistently produced outstanding works, enriched the development of their art form. The award is also given to cultural workers, who through their works in research, curatorship and administration, have helped to develop and enrich Philippine art . This is the highest award given by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) to Filipino artists and cultural workers

History

The first Gawad CCP Para sa Sining was given posthumously in 1977 to Hubertus Kuhne for Cultural Administration, Kuhne being the head of the Goethe Institut in Manila at that time. The Award since then was given yearly until 1994. In 1996, the Award became the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining Pangtanghalan, reflecting the new thrust of the CCP as Center for the Performing Arts, instead of a Coordinating Center for all arts. The Gawad CCP para sa Sining awards has been revived in 2004, with the awarding ceremonies held on September 8, 2004 at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The event fittingly coincided with the celebration of the institution’s 35th year anniversary .

The Gawad CCP Para sa Sining covers the following art forms: dance, music, theater, literature, film, visual arts, broadcast arts, technical theater and production design. The award also has three categories:

• Category A is for artists or group of artists who have consistently produced outstanding works or have evolved a distinct style or technique that enriches the development of their particular art form (under Category A also are artists or group of artists who are nationally recognized as outstanding in their field by virtue of winning in prestigious national or international art or literary competitions or being acknowledged as such by legitimate critics circles or by their peers);
• Category B is for artists who have made outstanding contributions to the culture of the region of their birth or residence;
• Category C is for outstanding cultural workers who, through their works in research, curatorship or administration, have helped to develop or enrich particular art forms or Philippine culture in general.
