If it were up to us, everyone would be a winner, but each quarter only one can be voted champion. We had over 50 fabulous entries this year which all deserve a high-five and/or fist bump.  Let's take a look below at some of our 2019 favorites - separated by Prisma Frame entries and Bella Moulding entries.

The next Creations Contest round will be coming up in the spring. The best way to submit a winning entry is to get a clear, high-resolution picture of your piece on a neutral background and then be sure to share your submission with all your family, friends and customers so you get the most votes! Besides winning free product, this is a great opportunity for a little self-promotion and share your creativity with your community. Get some other good contest tips here.

We look forward to hosting Amy at the upcoming WCAF 2020 in January. We'd love to see as many of you there as possible too. We'll be presenting over 60 new Bella items, some exciting new Prisma photo frame options as well as some very exciting and long-awaited developments to the Prisma Visualizer - just in time to help you plan your 2020 Bella Creations Contest entries!
