Overview

• The Trust will accept ideas from 13 October to 17 November, shortlist up to five with £5,000 each to develop concepts, and announce a public‑voted winner in February 2026.
• About half of the remaining timber is available for the commission, with the largest trunk section already on permanent display at The Sill visitor centre.
• The brief seeks a nationally significant project capable of reaching large audiences, with a total budget of £200,000.
• Visitors continue to travel to Sycamore Gap two years after the felling, underscoring the site’s enduring pull.
• The Trust has also commissioned sound artist Jason Singh to create a piece using biofeedback from the still‑living stump alongside environmental recordings.
