Winner of our Student Excellence Awards Exhibition

The Winners of Our Student Excellence Awards

Nearly 3 months ago we launched our first ever online digital exhibition – Student Excellence Awards Exhibition, showcasing the work by some of our most stand out students. The aim of the exhibition was to showcase the commitment, graft, and talent that our students demonstrate and to give everyone a taste of what can be achieved on our distance learning courses. 

Inclusion is in recognition of noteworthy work produced during their course. This may be in terms of general improvement seen throughout the course or just for an excellent piece. 

The nominations are by individual tutor’s choice and to recognise the way chosen students have gone above and beyond during their programme with us.  

We also asked you to pick your favourite pieces from each category!  Today we can finally and officially announce the winners. As well as receiving a Certificate of Excellence in addition to their final City & Guilds accredited course certificate, the winner from each category will receive a subscription to Craft Magazine.
