With these awards, the promotion of artistic craftsmanship will go far beyond cantonal borders.

The undeniable success of the European Days of Crafts (nearly 15,000 visitors during the last edition) continues to be emulated. The Swiss Association of Crafts (ASMA), created in 2016, is thus preparing to salute the manual and creative excellence of Swiss craftsmen through three new awards brought together under the name "Prix Métiers d’art Swiss ".

Applications open!

For the Design Métiers d’art Awards (offered by CA Indosuez Switzerland SA, national partner of the ASMA) and Relève Métiers d’art, applications are open until September 3, 2018. Applications must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, and will include a written presentation of the project illustrated with images and sketches. A first, second and third prize will be awarded in these two categories. More information on www.metiersdart.ch.
