European craft price
The European Craft Prize is an award for the craft in North Rhine-Westphalia . The prize is awarded by the North Rhine-Westphalian Crafts Day to people in international public life who have made a very special contribution to the craft and medium- sized businesses. The award ceremony took place for the first time in 1992; until 2002 on an annual basis, since 2004 the European Craftsman Award has been awarded every two years.
