Exhibitor Awards

The Tasmanian Craft Fair presents a range of awards each year recognising excellence in the fields of craft or arts. Exhibitors are automatically entered in any award for which they are eligible, with the exception of the Premier's Award, for which a specific piece of work must be entered (fee payable).

Best Working Exhibit Award

Criteria: The awards are directed towards exhibitors who, as part of their display, engage their audiences for education and entertainment, in showing the raw materials and skills they use and through talking to, and interacting with the public.

2023 Winner: Bingo Bango
Sponsor: Extractas Bioscience

Stand Presentation Award

Criteria: Imagining the site and designing the stand to maximise both product and audience engagement is an aspect of this award that the judging panel acknowledge as a challenge for each exhibitor.

2023 Winner: Samantha Abbott
Sponsor: Deloraine & Districts Community Bank

First-Time Exhibitor Award

Criteria: To acknowledge and encourage exhibitors who have never before exhibited at the Tasmanian Craft Fair and who demonstrate innovation and quality in their work, and present it in a professional manner.
