The Guild Of Traditional Upholsterers
Challenge Trophy
Each year at the Guild AGM, during the evening meal, we see a Certificated Member awarded the Challenge trophy.
​
The Award is presented to those Members who put forward a portfolio of photographs of a single piece of work from the previous 12 months.
​
Each portfolio is then inspected by other Certificated Members and voted upon.
Each entry is anonymous and must consist of the following photographs:
​
-
Before work began
-
After ripping out
-
Work in progress
-
The completed piece (several views)
The winner of the cup retains the trophy for one year and also receives a prize of £250.
​
A call for entries will be put forward closer to the date of this years AGM
