Last Chance to Enter this Year's Horners Awards!

The deadline for this year's Horners Awards is 14th August, meaning that there are only a few days left to get your entries in!

There are two awards that are open to submissions. The first, the Horners Award for Plastics Innovation & Design, is believed to be the longest established design award for plastics in the world. The second, the Horners Bottlemakers Award, requires entries to be a plastic bottle, jar or hollow container.

The prestigious Horners Awards are jointly run by the BPF and the Worshipful Company Of Horners (an ancient guild and livery company of the City of London).

Last year's winners were announced at Interplas 2014. The highly innovative ‘self-sealing’ obturation points, Propoints, won the Horners Award for Plastics Design and Innovation 2014 and M+H's Plastics’ Braille Tubes was confirmed as the winner of the Horners Bottlemaker Award.

Notes to editor
The Horners’ Award is an annual award for an imaginative or innovative contribution to the Plastics Industry.

The Worshipful Company of Horners’ was originally founded to set and maintain standards and the ancient craft of the Horner but “adopted” the Plastics Industry in the 1940’s recognizing plastics as a natural successor to Horn.

The Horners Award is believed to be the earliest design competition introduced to encourage good design and new technology in plastics.

The Horners’ Award is jointly organised by the Worshipful Company of Horners', a City Livery Company, and The British Plastics Federation (BPF).

The British Plastics Federation (BPF) is the UK trade association for the Plastics Industry – representing the whole supply chain including polymer producers, distributors, additives suppliers, machinery manufacturers, processors and recyclers.
