Awards 

The Art and Framing Industry Awards are hosted by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Each year they bring together all sectors of the industry - businesses large and small - in a celebration of art and framing's biggest successes and achievements over a 12 month period. There are usually 2 to 6 finalists in each category. From 2008 the framing awards are split into regional finals with the winner and two runners up going forward for a single national framing award. An annual framing competition is also run by Picture Business magazine.
