Bradford Textile Society Design Competition

Established in 1893, the Bradford Textile Society is the oldest textile society in Britain, if not in the world. Despite all the changes which have taken place in the textile industry since its formation, the Society continues to thrive. Its monthly programme of meetings from October to April provides an opportunity for everyone with an interest in textiles to meet and discuss a range of textile-related topics with an invited speaker.

This year a total of over 900 entries was received into the competition, and thanks to the generous support received from our sponsors, a total prize fund of £11,000 was made available.
