I am immensely proud to announce that our diorama has won the coveted First Prize in the Premju Ġieħ l-Artiġjanat Malti 2015, a competition organised by the Ministry for the Economy, Investment and Small Business to recognise and award the top Artisan creations.
The competition, for which there were some 65 applications, was held around an exhibition of the participating artefacts between mid-December 2015 and mid-January 2016 ( click here ) during which a body of independent judges ( click here ), carried out their difficult task of discerning each and every item to come up with a shortlist for the awards.
The awards ceremony was held on the 2nd of March 2016 and presided by Hon. Christian Cardona, Minister for the Economy, Investment and Small Business, who distributed the prizes to the Winners.
Our diorama participated and won First Prize in Category 1: CRAFTS PRODUCTS, Subcategory E - Most Innovative Product by a Group of Crafts Persons ( click here ).
This is a true honour for all SSM members and upholds the values of teamwork, dedication and perseverance so highly demonstrated during the days when this project was being carried out.
Well done to all........truly Well done.
