Applications are invited for the 2022 Innovation in Wool Awards. Following a year where too many obstacles prohibited the competition to go ahead, this year the Awards are back bigger and better for 2022 with an impressive Award amount up to £25,000 awarded across 1 to 3 winning project submissions.

The Worshipful Company of Woolmen Charitable Trust and The Company of Merchants of The Staple of England in conjunction with the Campaign for Wool are seeking applications that showcase wool in new, inspirational applications which can be either apparel, interior, agricultural, horticultural, medical, novel, industrial or other scientific wool applications.

In today’s environment and consideration for the health and well-being of the planet, applications should also consider sustainability as a form of innovation.  Project submissions should also consider developing products and re-engineering wool that already exists or classed as waste.
