BCTF Awards 2022 Winners Announced
14 Apr 2022
The BCTF Awards 2022 took place last night, recognising the very best of our exhibitors across a range of categories.
Our sponsors consisted of Galleries, Associations and Press who browsed the show across the first two days, examining the beautiful work on display to decide those who stood above the rest.
We also had the Giftware Association's WOW factor award winner Joanna Coupland who was chosen by her fellow exhibitors through a vote as having the most 'wow factor' through its design and products.
Winners received prizes including association memberships, inclusion in gallery exhibitions across various UK galleries, entries into additional award selections as well as promotion, training, web hosting and portfolio management advice to boost their business' even further.
