The Silver Society Prize 2021

The Silver Society is pleased to announce the launch of its annual Prize for 2021, awarded to a silversmith who is either aged under 35 or in the first five years of their career as a practising silversmith.

The competition will be conducted virtually and submissions should be made by email to editor@thesilversociety.org by 30 September 2021.

The submission should be a piece of silver, either made especially for the competition or pre-existing. The portfolio should include images of the piece, a description of its manufacture and its hallmarks. It may also include any other relevant material, such as design drawings, a video or a commentary on the sources of inspiration.

The entrant should be aged 35 or under by 31 December 2021 or have worked as a practising silversmith for less than five years. The submission may not be a piece of jewellery.

The competition will be judged by an expert panel and the winner will be announced on 25 October 2021 and will receive a cash prize of £500. The winning piece and a profile of its maker will be included in the 2022 Silver Society Journal.

Closing date: 30 September 2021
