About Competition


Established in 2000 to promote the fine art of embroidery, the annual Hand & Lock Prize for Embroidery is now a global competition for aspiring embroidery students and designers, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents and gain vital exposure and experience.

The aim of this prize is to promote the use of hand embroidered surface embellishment within the fashion, costume & textile industries. Organizer provides artists, students, practitioners and enthusiasts with a platform to connect with other industry bodies; in turn gaining exposure, improving embroidery techniques and keeping the age old tradition moving forward in the modern world.

The theme for this year competition is 'The New Nature'.

The 2022 Hand & Lock brief wants you to take inspiration from the power of nature. Evolution, adaption, biomimicry, texture, colour, craft and sustainable practices. Be innovative and imagine a future where humans learn from nature to live in harmony with nature.
