Emerging Embroiderer of the Year Award

Award description

Supported by the Broderers’ Company

This award celebrates an early-career heritage craftsperson (in the first 5 years of their professional practice) who has made an outstanding start to their embroidery career. The award winner will be highly skilled amongst their peers, whilst raising the perceived value of their craft through sharing and awareness raising. They will have given themselves a fantastic chance of achieving long-term success, perhaps overcoming disadvantage or setbacks along the way.

Anyone, including the maker themselves, can nominate for this award. Finalists will be expected to attend the high-profile Winners’ Reception in November 2025.
