Romane Cossin, from France, got the best “guest college” entry and Niagara Falls Prize with “Gotlib”, a medal celebrating one of the great names of French Bande Dessinée.

Hongzhi Zhu, from Edinburgh University, received the Lunts Castings Prize for her medal about the contemplative but also euphoric nature of dog walking.

Zoe Pearce, from Falmouth College of Art, received the Tin Plate Company prize with It is July on the moorlands … a medal merging the softness of the beach with the meditation of walking.

Evan Moore, Cardiff Metropolitan University: received the Cutting Edge Prize for his untitled piece which plays with the idea of the two sides (or more!) or a medal.

The Second Prize went to Michelle Barlow, from Truro and Penwith College with “Piece of Eight”, a thoughtful consideration of the lives sacrificed to mining.

And the Grand First Prize went to Stephanie Holt, from Birmingham City University’s School of Jewellery, with The Weight of the World (illustrated here), which, at once, explores mental health but also the beguiling tactile qualities of the medal.

Many congratulations to all students and colleges involved and we look forward to seeing next year’s entries.
