The annual Golden Fleece Award is the largest art prize open to artists and makers in Ireland - watch this year's virtual Golden Fleece Award ceremony above. 

The six winning artists are Bassam Al-Sabah, Aideen Barry, Lorna Donlon, Laura Fitzgerald, Maria McKinney and Sinead O'Dwyer. The individual Awards were presented in two categories: Visual Art and Craft + Applied Art.

Aideen Barry, The Monachopsis Drawings (2020), 52 individual drawings on paper

Each of the six winning artists, whose work explores a wide range of disciplines, will receive a prize of €10,000, as the Golden Fleece Trust raised a special €60,000 fund this year – the largest in its history – in response to the challenges faced by the creative sector in the wake of COVID-19.
