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).
