B.15 Modelmaking Awards 2024 Longlist & Winners

Congratulations to the winners of this years B.15 Modelmaking Awards! To mark ten years of the awards, ten projects were selected from the extensive range of submissions. This made the process of selection difficult and time consuming with the judges deliberating for almost two hours following inspection of all projects in the shortlist.

Whilst there can only be a limited number of prize winners we consider all participants winners and want to thank everyone who took the time to submit their work for consideration. This scheme has always been about much more than the winning projects but about the celebration of all modelmaking in design work.

The body of work submitted over the years will continue to provide inspiration to future students. Bound copies of these submissions that were included in our MAKE MORE MODELS retrospective display at this year degree show can now be found in the B.15 library. Digital copies can be viewed here.

On behalf of Pete Lee & Nina Criswell from HENN, Maz Weineck & Stephen Setford from Stanton Williams and all of us at B.15 we encourage you all to keep being creative and making in your future work in practice and further education.

For those leaving us please keep in touch and those still studying, see you soon!

Thank you to Stanton Williams and HENN for their continued support and enthusiasm!
