Is the Prize for the best work of sculpture exhibited in London the same as the Otto Beit Medal? It was funded by Sir Otto Beit and awarded by the RBS. Verbcatcher (talk) 00:51, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Otto Beit Medal
The article said that "RBS awarded the Otto Beit Medal for excellence in architecture", but my limited research indicates that this medal was "for sculpture". A sculpture medal is more likely for a society of sculptors; all the winners I have followed-up are scupltors, not architects; and reliable sources refer to an Otto Beit medal for scultpure, including:



I don't have a good source for the formal name of the medal, so I have changed it to simply the "Otto Beit medal". Verbcatcher (talk) 11:59, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Needs updating
Under the heading "Structure: Patronage", it states "The society has received Royal Patronage since 1911 and Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II is the society's current Patron." First, Since Elizabeth died in 2022, this is no longer accurate. Second, adding "Her (or his) Majesty" is neither required nor standard in an encyclopedic context.
