PATRON AWARD SPECIAL AWARD MEMBERS 2018
2017/18 2017/18 The success of the Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Competition
is only made possible by the generous support of our expert
judges drawn from the industry.
In making their decisions, judges are not asked to decide
which of the entries before them is ‘the best’ in that section.
The aims and objectives of the judges are to decide whether
an entry is of a high enough standard in craftsmanship and/or
design to merit an award, and at which level i.e. Gold, Silver or
Bronze. Judges are under no compulsion to make any Award/s
if they consider that the bench mark standards have not been
achieved.
