Millie Winners - Magge Winners - Gold Rosettes
 The Millie has been a top award in Doll Artisan Guild competitions since 1979; the Magge came several years later in 1993. These much sought after top awards are chosen from the Rosette winning dolls, which are the best-in-category dolls for both professional and non-professional.
The Millie, named after Mildred Seeley, co-founder of the Doll Artisan Guild, is given to the top reproduction of antique doll for both professional and non-professional. The golden figure on the trophy is a little all-bisque doll that Mildred Seeley called Cathleen. For the first few years, the Millie was cast in porcelain and gold fired. Today they are custom made by the most prestigious award company in the USA in gilded metal. The first Millies were given out at the Doll Artisan Guild Doll City Doll Show in Oneonta, New York in 1979.
 The Magge, named after Magge Head Kane, an influential American sculptor that helped shape the modern doll world, is given to the top reproduction of modern doll for both professional and non-professional. Magge Head Kane taught sculpting to DAG members for many years. The bust on the trophy is a shoulder-head named Sheila, sculpted by Magge in 1976, one of the first modern models sculpted specifically for dollmakers. The first Magges were given out at the DAG International Convention in Rochester, New York.
In their lifetimes, both Mildred Seeley and Magge Head Kane became honorary DAG Doctors of Dollmaking. Both women have since passed, but their legacy lives on.
You may only win a Magge or Millie top awards once. If you win one of these awards and in a future competition are picked to receive the award again, you are awarded a “Gold Rosette” and the top award goes to the next best doll. If you see a star next to a name means that they have also won a Gold Rosette.
The list below encompasses many top award winners throughout the years. This in no way is the complete list. We will continue to dig into our archives to list all of our winners so that it will some day be complete.
Congratulations to you all!
