CALLING ALL ORGANIZATION MEMBERS!

Did you know that you can give a Community Award to your chosen recipient as a benefit of your membership? All you have to do is fill out the award report form.

 

Chosen and presented each year by our Organization Members, the Craft Ontario Community Awards celebrate excellence in specific craft disciplines. Award criteria varies with each organization, and recognizes innovative use of materials or theme, and best standards in quality and technique.

A Craft Ontario Community Award includes a complimentary one-year Maker Membership and all member benefits for your chosen recipient. Timing of the award presentation is of your choosing, as is the selection process; most choose to present the Community Award as part of a yearly exhibition, ceremony, craft show or other celebrations.
