Heritage Crafts – Lifetime Achievement Award
18 March 2026
Deadline: August 21, 2026
Heritage Crafts are thrilled to announce that nominations are now OPEN for the Lifetime Achievement Award 2026.
This Heritage Crafts Award is to recognise a heritage craftsperson who has demonstrated an outstanding contribution to their specific craft over 25 years or more. It will recognise a lifetime’s dedication to a particular traditional skill, resulting in a practitioner operating at the highest level, having made a significant impact on the continued high-esteem in which their craft is held. We expect this to be someone who makes excellent work and has done for a long time, as well as being held in the highest regard amongst their craft peers, but it need not be the most glamorous or high-end craft; we promote the simple, humble crafts too.
The winner will receive a £1,000 cash prize and will be celebrated at a high-profile Winners’ Reception in November 2026.
