DUE to the overwhelming response and the high level of interest, we have decided to extend the entry deadline for The Herald Scottish Culture Awards 2019 until Monday, June 3.
The awards, sponsored by Edinburgh Napier University, EventScotland part of VisitScotland’s Events Directorate and the Theatre School of Scotland, are a chance to celebrate and reward all genres of culture from the creative industries
in Scotland across 14 categories, from One to Watch to Outstanding Dance Performance.
Reece Donnelly, managing director and founder of Theatre School of Scotland, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring The Herald Scottish Culture Awards 2019. As a business we think Scotland has so much talent yet to be discovered and that is why we have chosen to get involved.
“The Theatre School of Scotland will support the One to Watch category – even the most successful have to start somewhere.
“We have some great success stories from Scotland, and we want to find the next one. To be involved as a judge for this year’s event means so much to me.
“Having worked in Scotland, and out of it, it has made me realise we should support youngsters’ dreams and teach them it can happen – and it will if we pull together.”
All applications must be submitted by 6pm on June 3. To allow proper time for the judging process, no further extensions will be granted for entries. To enter see: http://newsquestscotlandevents.com/events/cultureawards/

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
