The 2022 Stevens Competition was to an exciting project to design a memorial window for Wilfred Owen at Dunsden church. The winning artist, Caroline Small, received £2,000 and was named Architectural Glass Artist of the Year 2022. She also won the prize for Craftsmanship. The commission for the window was awarded to Natasha Redina.

The competition for 2023 was a co-operation between the Glaziers’ and Mercers’ Companies to source two architectural glass panels that were installed in the reception area of a major office development that the Mercers’ Company in the City of London. The winner of both the prize and the commission was Cathy Lee.

In 2024 the Glaziers invited past winners to compete for a commission at The Oriental Club. The winner of the Stevens competition was Sarah Knighton and the commission was awarded to Cathy Lee.

The Stevens Competition was a great opportunity to design and make a sample panel for an actual location in an architectural setting, with one of the designs usually being selected for a commission. Feedback from the expert panel of judges formed an important part of the learning experience. It will be sadly missed. Thanks go to Brian Green and Helen Whittaker who ran the competition for many years.
