The Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council is a non profit making organisation founded over one hundred years ago in 1908. Today, the Council continues its work from its original remit:

"to encourage, stimulate and promote the pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship and design amongst all those in the United Kingdom who work within silversmithing, goldsmithing, jewellery and the allied crafts."

The Awards are sponsored by all four Assay Offices of the UK, with Sheffield Assay Office sponsoring the 2D Hand Rendering Award, which will be judged by Assay Master, Ashley Carson in January.
