Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Scenic Design
The Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Scenic Design is an honor presented at the Outer Critics Circle Awards, a ceremony established in 1950 for excellence in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, to set designers of any production. The category was added to the ceremony in 1979 as the first technical award category as "Best Set Design" before being changed to "Outstanding Scenic Design" in 1999.
Robin Wagner has won the award the most times, with four wins, followed by Bob Crowley, Eugene Lee, David Gallo and Anthony Ward with two wins each. John Lee Beatty, however, holds the record for most nominations, with 12. Maria Bjornson was the first female scenic designer to win the award in 1988 for The Phantom of the Opera.
