Any aspect of heritage ironwork, on any scale, in a public or a private setting, is eligible. Individuals or teams can enter themselves or be nominated by a third party.\u00a0 The award will be presented to the practitioner(s) who carried out the work, rather than to those who commissioned or specified it, although joint entries by architect and blacksmith, for example, are also welcome.<\/p>\n
