Renowned actor Elaine C Smith has announced the establishment of a ground-breaking award for aspiring female comedic performers at New College Lanarkshire.
She said: “I’ve founded this award because I know that for women from a working-class background, making it in the arts can be a real struggle. “Art belongs to everyone, not just men, not just white people, not just middle-class people, everyone.
