The BGA student glove design competition has now been running since 1975 and is organised by the British Glove Association in collaboration with the Worshipful Company of Glovers. Its purpose is to encourage students to create practical yet original glove designs. The judges also look for designs that show a commercial aspect in respect of areas such as ease of manufacture and ability to sell.The panel of judges come from all areas of the gloving industry, including manufacturers, designers, tanneries, importers and department store buyers.
The Worshipful Company of Glovers is one of the ancient livery companies that once controlled and regulated their craft in the City of London. Nowadays, whilst continuing to retain strong links with their original trades, they are active in maintaining the traditions of the City and support education and charities in the wider community.
