Awards 2012

In 2012, the British Glass Biennale will once again award £3,000 for the piece considered to be ’Best in Show’. As with all previous years the award winner will be selected by the Jury panel from the original selection process once the exhibition had been set up. This award is made possible by the generous donation of Mark Holford, who also supported the exhibition in 2010. The British Glass Biennale is also delighted to be working once again in association with the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers, who in addition to their kind sponsorship of the exhibition, will again offer four awards, totalling £7,500.

2010 saw the addition of a number of new awards and the British Glass Biennale is pleased to announce that these relationships will continue in this year’s exhibition. Therefore the following awards will be available to selected artists in 2012:
