The public is being invited to vote on which of six shortlisted artists should create an artwork from the wood of the illegally felled Sycamore Gap tree.

In September, the National Trust called on artists, organisations and creative agencies across the country to present ideas for a “nationally important” commission that helps shape the tree’s next chapter by using half of its timber.
