AWARDS
The NHIG Award for Heritage Metalwork Conservation seeks to recognise and celebrate excellence in ironwork conservation as an inspiration to all.
Submitted work must have been carried out in the last 5 years in accordance with current conservation philosophy.
The judges will be interested in:
• Appropriateness of materials and techniques used
• Extent to which loss of original fabric was minimised
• Quality of craftsmanship
To enter, please use the form below. You will need to:
- provide a brief description of the ironwork
- outline the work carried out
- explain what approach was taken and why
- send images (min. 3, max. 6) separately by file transfer
A panel of experienced judges drawn from members of the NHIG Council and the WCB Craft Committee will assess the entries.
The judging panel will visit shorlisted projects so please ensure that access to the site is possible.
The NHIG will publicise competition entries and outcomes as examples of good practice to inspire others. Please ensure that all permissions have been sought prior to entry and that images have been cleared for use.
