DSWA PINNACLE AWARD SCHEME

The DSWA GB Pinnacle Award Scheme recognises outstanding projects incorporating dry stone walling. The scheme is designed to embrace a wide spectrum of work although only the most outstanding projects demonstrating the very best craftsmanship, innovative design and inspirational use of stone are considered for a full Pinnacle Award.

The DSWA GB can also award a certificate of merit under the scheme for smaller projects that are not considered large enough to be put forward for a full award but are nevertheless note worthy and deserve recognition.

Since the schemes launch in 1994 only nine full awards have been made, three of which have been presented to Andrew.
