THE CARROLL AWARD
FOR A STEAMPUNK FAIRYTALE INSPIRED CREATION
The first 'Great Exhibition' award for 2024

We are now inviting applications for entries to the second Carroll Award which will be awarded at Tutbury Castle over the weekend of 18-19 May.

Last year the Carroll Award was the first of a new series of Steampunk Creativity medals. In 2023 we awarded a total of 13 numbered medals and this will be number 14.
The 2023 Lewis Carroll Award for a 2D or 3D creation on a Fairytale Theme Awarded to Alice Prudom for "Alice in Steamland"
After wandering through Wonderland and going Through The Looking Glass, Alice trips and falls into Steamland!
Eerily similar to Wonderland, but with a few more marvelous machines.
Created using Powertex and mixed media, various Wonderland inspired objects appear to leap out of the book. Watch out for Absolem the catterpillar who has had a Cog-gy makeover.
