Amscan x Sempertex has signed up as one of this year’s UK Balloon Artist Awards sponsors.
This year’s event, created and directed by Amelia Adkins of Pro Balloon Shop, will be held on Tuesday 7 November at the Grand Hotel, Birmingham, and will see artists from the industry, gather together for one evening, to celebrate their skills and creativity within the sector.
Alongside the various sponsors for the evening, are several industry awards up for grabs. In partnership with one of the UK’s leading industry organisations, BAPIA, Pro Balloon Shop has curated an awards programme with something for everyone and an opportunity for every artist to get recognition for the business that they have worked so hard on building.
This year’s categories are:
Balloon Artist of the Year
Best Newcomer
Balloon Retailer or Party Store of the Year
Best Organic Balloon Display
Best Balloon Display Incorporating Props or Flowers
Best Deliverable Balloon Display
Best Themed Display
For 2023, the judging panel of all the submissions will include BAPIA and The Event Collective, who will be judging and deciding on a winner for each category.
Amscan x Sempertex commented: “We can exclusively announce that there will be a People’s Choice Award awarded on the Best Themed Display alongside the judge’s award. Industry professionals will be able to vote on their favourite display and decide the artist who will be crowned the winner.
