Compete & Create At The Frameworx Framing Contest
Participate in our first-ever Frameworx Framing Contest for a chance to win prizes, get featured in industry publications, and receive a framer spotlight on our social media. We’re challenging framers to channel their creativity by using Bainbridge and Crescent Brands matboards and/or Nielsen and Nurre Caxton mouldings to frame a vintage postcard of their choice. Entries will be displayed during the expo with winners announced at the Frameworx Framer Reception.
All submissions will be judged by a panel of Frameworx experts and the president of Crescent Brands, Matt Ozmun. If you’re interested in participating, please send submissions to Crescent Brands by September 4, 2024.
