Author Janice Galloway led criticism of Creative Scotland's all-male judging panel for its black tie awards ceremony, which is to take place at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow on December 13.
Galloway, who will be abroad and unable to attend despite being short-listed for one of the prizes, said the all-male panel was an "unusual oversight". Other artists criticised the decision on Twitter.
