Jane Anne Rothwell Award

Presented annually in memory of Jane Anne Rothwell, the inspirational chair of Cork Midsummer Festival 2013 - 2018

← back

The Jane Anne Rothwell Award is a prize awarded annually to an emerging artist – either from Cork, or based in Cork – working in any discipline, who identifies as female.

Jane Anne Rothwell was the inspirational Chair of Cork Midsummer Festival from 2013 – 2018. A leading figure in Cork’s legal and business community, Jane Anne was an incredible mentor to, and champion of, women in the arts.

The award will support bold and innovative projects that respond to the city of Cork – whether that involves traditional arts venues, digital activities, surprising site-specific locations, diverse communities, the city’s history, geography, politics, or its people – reflecting the place in which we live in an engaging and dynamic way.

Previous recipients of the Jane Anne Rothwell award include:

  • 2024 - Elinor O'Donovan
  • 2023 - Jackie Nevin
  • 2022 - Émer Dineen
  • 2021 - Lesley Conroy
  • 2021 - Kim Sheehan
