ABOUT THE PRIX FRANÇOIS-HOUDÉ
The Prix François-Houdé is addressed to Montreal artisans beginning their career. This award gives prominence to the remarkable craftsmanship of their creations and their original contributions to the practice of a particular craft, whether related to the transformation of wood, leather, textiles, metals, glass, ceramics, paper or any other material, while recognizing the mastery of exploratory techniques related to their specific discipline.
