Craftsmanship  Awards

Craftmanship Awards​

Each year the York Guild of Building receives nominations from local builders, architects and tradesmen for entry in to the Craftmanship Awards. Certificates are awarded for the best schemes which celebrate outstanding craftmanship and teamwork. The nominations are judged by a team from the guild, including the Master and winners are announced at a presentation evening held at Bedern Hall. 

The annual Craftsmanship Award scheme, now in its twentieth year, has grown in stature.

The Guild invites applications from all sections of the building industry to celebrate and reward craftsmanship and excellence in construction. The Awards have previously recognised craftsmanship in leadwork, stone and wood carving, carpentry, joinery and metalwork in both new build, refurbishment, repair and conservation schemes.  The Guild is proud to promote craft skills of the highest order and to help craftsmen and women to be recognised and encouraged.
 
The Awards are to be presented on the evening of  14th of  November by the Master of the York Guild of Building at Bedern Hall in York during an informal event focussing on design and craftsmanship in all building trades.

​The categories are : 
TEAM MERIT AWARD
BRICKWORK MERIT AWARD
CRAFTMANSHIP TEAM AWARD
CRAFTMANSHIP AWARD
THE MASTERS AWARD
