Work should preferably be accessible to the general public.

Modern and traditional techniques are equally acceptable. Work in any metal and heat process is acceptable. The age of the piece should not exceed five years from completion.

The initial assessment will be by looking at good, high quality digital photos that show the piece overall and in detail, as the committee may be meeting online. All shortlisted

submissions will still be visited and assessed on site as usual.
