The selected maker will create a unique piece of contemporary silver, one that represents excellence in craftsmanship in Scotland.
Closing date: 4 Nov 2025
The premise of the award is purposefully open—to create a noteworthy piece of silver by asking the question, what is one piece of contemporary silver you have always dreamed of making, but never had the chance to?
The hallmark, done at Edinburgh Assay Office, should be a conspicuous feature of the piece. The scale and type of piece is up to the discretion and design of the maker, based upon the award budget. The successful maker will receive up to £5,000 to create the piece.
We are proud to partner with the Hugo Burge Foundation to offer the successful applicant a fully-funded, four-week residency at the Marchmont Silversmithing Workshop.
Applications are open to any silversmith and/or jeweller living and working in Scotland with at least 3+ years of experience post-graduation and/or training. The Applicant must be able to demonstrate their capacity to utilise silversmithing techniques to create a larger object.
