Applications will open for the RDS Craft Awards on the 5th of May, 2025. It is a competition open to all craft makers living on the island of Ireland and Irish-born craft makers working overseas. The work of emerging and established makers is judged separately, with specific prizes to support emerging craftspeople. The Awards will be made from a total prize fund of €60,000.
The Emerging Maker category is open to individuals who aren’t necessarily recent graduates, and there is no age limit. Instead, there are these requirements:
- Focus on heritage, skills, and sustainable practices.
- Practice commenced within the past 10 years, with the determination to grow their craft at home and abroad.
- Work must be made and sourced in Ireland.
The deadline for applying is the 23rd of June. There is no fee to enter.
