Curriers Cup of Excellence in Leather End of Year Award

The Curriers Cup of Excellence in Leather End of Year Award is a £1,000 award provided by The Worshipful Company of Curriers to recognize excellence in leather-related studies at the University of the Arts London. This end-of-year award is specifically designated for final year students enrolled in the BA (Hons) Cordwainers Fashion Bags and Accessories program. Students cannot apply directly for this award; instead, tutors nominate candidates based on their academic merit and achievements throughout their final year of studies. The Worshipful Company of Curriers is one of the 110 Livery Companies of the City of London, originally established as craft guilds that expanded to include training, standards, and qualifications promotion. Today, the Company supports the UK's leather industry through various means, including bursaries, scholarships, and promoting excellence in design, fashion, and production. This award represents the Company's commitment to fostering talent and recognizing outstanding achievement in leather craftsmanship and design education.
