ExhibitsAs much as we would love to have your exhibit, we would love to have you here even more. Atlanta is often a single flight from many parts of the US, and our Hilton Hotel is a beautiful business class hotel with a great show rate of $TBD/night, with a buffet breakfast for two. If you honor us with your exhibit, please consider visiting us in person for our show.
Also, please consider attending our awards dinner. Ticket prices reflect our direct cost from the Hilton, and past exhibitors have been highly satisfied with the quality of the meal served. |
Our grand awards are provided by Lillie Glass, a renowned group of artists that have been serving Atlanta since Don Lillie started the business in 1955. Semi-retired, Don still personally signs the card that goes in the box with every award. Above, our 2013 awards were Winged Eagle on Ball (Grand), Dolphin jumping over a rock (Reserve Grand), and Dogwood (One Frame Grand).
