Gorsedh Kernow Awards & Social with Richard Trethewey & Vocal Footprint

Gorsedh Kernow Awards

The Gorsedh Kernow Awards seek to foster and promote the national Celtic spirit of Cornwall, through awarding Awen Medals for outstanding creative and community work that expresses Cornish identity and culture.

Gorsedh Kernow Awen Medals

These specially-commissioned and designed Awen medals, featuring the Gorsedh Kernow Awen symbol of inspiration, are awarded to individuals or groups who make an outstanding contribution to the Celtic spirit of Cornwall for either Creativity/Awenekter or Community/Kemeneth.

Certificates of Recognition

Gorsedh Kernow seeks to encourage and promote Cornish culture, and values the expression of the national Celtic spirit of Cornwall. Our Certificates of Recognition scheme enables anyone to submit their own work and have a chance of winning a Gorsedh Kernow Award. Successful entrants will be awarded a Certificate of Recognition. Outstanding work in any category may be awarded an Awen medal. Categories are: Skrif Kernewek/ Cornish-language Writing, Cornish Dialect/ Rannyeth, Cornish Study/ Studhyans Kernewek and Creative Work/ Ober Awenekter

The Young People’s Scheme is open to whole school classes, groups and individuals. There is a range of categories including music, dance, Cornish language, study projects, art and design, and creative writing. This year we are also working in Partnership with Golden Tree’s Go Cornish programme in primary schools.
