[1][2] The Award is funded by the Marsh Charitable Trust and is made on the recommendation of a panel of judges under the auspices of the Public Statues and Sculpture Association (PSSA), formerly the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association (PMSA).
The award is generally made to a work of new sculpture, which has to be erected in a place accessible to the public.
The Award Ceremony is held annually at the PMSA headquarters in Cowcross Street, London, every November, although in 2009 it was held at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, when it was presented by Boris Johnson.
The PMSA also organises a biennial award for public fountains in association with the Marsh Christian Trust.
