The Art and Framing Industry Awards, hosted by the Fine Art Trade Guild, are the industry's premier awards. 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 greatest achievements over a 12 month period. The history of the Awards shows that winners attract national media coverage and that an award can lead to unexpected business opportunities. Entry for the awards usually begins in September of the preceding year.

The Art and Framing Awards Event 2008 will be held on 17 May 2008 at the Redwood Hotel and Country Club, Bristol.
