This year’s competition theme is ‘celebration of our craft’. We invite BA Members to submit a photo of a basketry item or chair seating.

How to submit your entry

• Members can submit 1 or 2 photos of an item made within the last year.
• Submissions must include the date/year of making and details of the techniques and materials used.

Send your entries to Fiona Arnold at [email protected] by midnight on Sunday 19 October 2025.

Judging & Prize

Entries will be judged by Mary Butcher MBE, Bunty Ball and Maurice Bichard.

The winner will receive the Barbara Maynard Challenge Cup (as shown in the photo above) for the year, as well as £50.

We look forward to seeing your creative weaves!
