What is the Horners Award?

The Horners Award is an annual award for an imaginative or innovative contribution to the plastics industry. The Worshipful Company of Horners was founded to set and maintain standards in the ancient craft of the Horner. After it had 'adopted' plastics, the company introduced an award to encourage good design in plastics, these materials being the logical successor to the horn. The rules of entry were revised in 1976 to require a proven record of recent commercial success, and processes as well as products became eligible.
