Nell Steedsman Award:
The Guild of Canadian Weavers Nell Steedsman Award honours excellence in quality of hand weaving. The Award is offered by the GCW for work that has been entered in a Regional Juried Exhibition that includes weaving. The recipient of the Award will receive a one-year membership to the Guild of Canadian Weavers and a Certificate of Recognition.

Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Nell Steedsman began weaving in 1952 in Leamington, Ontario. By 1959, she had earned the GCW Master Weaver Certificate. She won many prizes in shows in Alberta and Ontario, as well as authoring two Workshop Series, one in collaboration with Winnifred Mooney. In addition, she was President of the GCW from 1967 to 1971 and was in charge of the GCW Tests until 1994. The Award has been developed in recognition of Nell's lifelong commitment and support of the Guild of Canadian Weavers.
