The Award Ceremony, 7 May 2016, The Uilenburger Synagogue, Amsterdam
The Winners of the 15 Grand Prix Awards
-The Workmanship Awards-
Each maker could send in maximum 2 bows, either for violin, viola or cello, and so can earn maximum 2 awards from each jury member. Each bow can earn theoretically in total even 5 Awards from 5 different Judges if the maker is not one of the 5 Jurors. As a Juror one can not vote for his own bows and has so 20% less chance on getting a award, as he can theoretically only can get maximum 4 Awards per bow.
The 15 Grand Prix Awards (the enviable trophies of exceptional good taste generated jealous glances !) are each accompanied by a set of hard metal chisel & drill of exceptional quality for violin, viola or cello, in its custom made 1st Darling Competition Wooden Box. Generously sponsored by our (and especially the bow makers!) friends Paulus Bowparts from Rottenbach, Germany.
Thanks to Helmut, Andreas and Carolin Paulus!
