The Sheffield Covid Memorial and the mural on Pond Street were both awarded the 2023 Keith Hayman Award, which celebrates public art in the city.
The award ceremony – which is organised by the Sheffield Civic Trust – took place on Tuesday at 5.30pm at Site Gallery, and gave out two awards: one for a mural and one for a sculpture.
The annual award was created in memory of Keith Hayman, a founder member of Sheffield Civic Trust, who died in 2013.
George King from George King Architects, who designed the Covid Memorial and attended the ceremony, said that winning the award was “a really lovely surprise.”
He added: “I think it’s a wonderful award because it’s chosen by the city itself, including the people who interact with the sculpture everyday.”
