Ceremonial award ceremony for the winners of the nationwide German Craft Skills and "Die gute Form" 2024 competitions in the stonemasonry and stone carving trades
The proud winners of this year's national young talent competitions in one of the oldest trades in the world - stonemasonry - will be honored on Saturday, 09.11.2024 from 11:45 a.m. at the Denkmalmesse in Leipzig in the denkmal-Forum.
Every year, graduates of vocational training courses from 130 different trades compete against each other in the German Craft Skills Championships (DMH) for the national title. Many of them have to hold their own against the competition at several levels: from the guild, chamber and state level to the national competition for the state winners. The stonemasons and stone sculptors create very special, individual workpieces from natural stone, which are judged by a panel of experts according to strict criteria. But it's not just performance that counts: Creative minds are in demand in the creative competition "Die gute Form im Handwerk - Handwerker gestalten". In over 30 different trades, including stonemasonry and sculpture, the young craftsmen and women can demonstrate their love of experimentation with unusual design solutions. The works created will be displayed and explained during the award ceremony. All interested visitors to the trade fair are therefore cordially invited to pay tribute to the next generation of stonemasons.
