The ceremony, presented by Melvyn Bragg, will take place at The Savoy Hotel and will air on Wednesday 13 July at 10pm on Sky Arts, the UK's only free-to-air TV channel dedicated to arts, music and culture.

Joining her to battle it out for the top spot are Sam Fender and Self Esteem with their hotly anticipated second albums, Seventeen Going Under and Prioritise Pleasure. The TV Drama category celebrates some incredible TV moments of the past year, with Russell T Davies' critically-acclaimed series, It's A Sin, Time starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham and This Is Going To Hurt, based on Adam Kay's bestselling memoir, all receiving a nomination.
Channel 4's We Are Lady Parts - created, written, and directed by Nida Manzoor - is nominated in the Comedy category alongside two BBC shows: Rose Matafeo's Starstruck and Sophie Willan's Alma's Not Normal. Nominations for Theatre include the Young Vic and Headlong co-production Best of Enemies, Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club - starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley - and The Walk, the incredible project that saw 3.5m puppet Little Amal travel through over 70 cities across the world.
Boiling Point, After Love and Passing occupy the Film category, all having previously received a nomination for Outstanding British Film of the Year at the 2022 BAFTA awards. Theatre of Sound's Bluebeard's Castle, Birmingham Opera Company's Wagner's RhineGold and Opera North's Rigoletto also go head-to-head for the Opera award.

Huw Watkins' Symphony No. 2 by the Hall , Dani Howard: Trombone Concerto by Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Mark-Anthony Turnage's Up For Grabs by BBC Symphony Orchestra & Barbican.

Previous winners include playwright Samuel Bailey, actors Jessie Buckley and Tom Hiddleston, and musicians Nubya Garcia and Stormzy.
The Outstanding Achievement Award - an award that acknowledges the remarkable contribution an artist has made throughout their career to date - will be announced at the ceremony. Previous winners of this award include Grayson Perry, Harold Pinter, Tracey Emin, Judi Dench, Eddie Izzard, Helen Mirren and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The South Bank Sky Arts Awards host, Melvyn Bragg comments: The British Arts forge on with enormous vigour and international success - we could make a claim to be the world centre of culture! Back again for our 26th South Bank Sky Arts Awards, a brilliant swathe of artistic talent appears - across every spectrum of the Arts.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts, added: The Arts are alive and kicking in the UK - we are living in a moment of incredible creative energy and output and the South Bank Sky Arts Awards nominees this year really do reflect the breadth and depth of talent we have in the UK. We wish everyone involved the very best of luck.
