The Neville Burston Award

The Award was conceived by the late Neville Burston, Past Master of the Glaziers Company, and is being continued by his son Richard.

The award is open to candidates who have studied stained/architectural glass and graduated from college within the last 5 years. The winner will be commissioned to design and install stained/architectural glass in a public building.

Past winners of the Neville Burston Award were able to demonstrate to potential clients their ability to follow through a project from design to installation and assisted them to gain further commissions.

Please contact chairman@bsmgp.org.uk if you wish to be considered for the commission and I will supply details for delivering your written CV and CD of work: by the end of May 2008, entrants after this date will not be considered
