2021 BELLA CREATIONS GRAND PRIZE WINNER

MIKE MENASCO of Artistic Indulgence

"Lazy Contemplations of Mercorns and Unimaids in the Depths of His 8' Kitchen on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon"

Congrats to Mike Menasco of Artistic Indulgence in Minneapolis, MN whose Prisma framed original colored pencil drawing was the chosen winner of our Summer Creations round and received the most votes to be named the 2021 Bella Creations Contest Grand Prize Winner!  The Grand Prize was intended to be a free trip to the 2022 WCAF Vegas show, but since all such gatherings are still very much up in the air, Mike has instead won a $1000 cash prize.

Thanks to everyone who entered or voted for your participation! We love to see how our products inspire your creativity with interesting, fun, and excellent quality framed projects.

And let’s give a huge round of applause to our other grand prize finalists: Krista and Wade of Wade Maxx, Amy and Chad of Four Corners Framing and Amanda Cianella of Framezilla.


We had over 90 fabulous entries this year (our new record!) which all deserve a high-five and/or fist bump.  Let's take a look below at some of our 2021 favorites - separated by Prisma Frame entries, Bella Moulding entries and a special Rainbow category for 2021.

The next Creations Contest round will be coming up in the spring.

Watch for the announcement via email or our social media accounts. It’s simple to enter. The next time you finish an amazing project featuring a Bella Moulding or Prisma Frame be sure to take a clear, high-resolution picture on a neutral background. When we announce that submissions are open, simply upload it to the contest page. Then share your submission with all your family, friends and customers to get votes! The three entries with the most votes go to our independent panel of design industry experts who select the quarterly winner. Besides winning free product and/or cash, this is a great opportunity to share your creativity and get in some shameless self-promotion with your customer base.

As this pandemic continues, 2021 was another tough year for us all and we are truly grateful for everyone who participated in this Creation Contest. It’s another way we can all maintain a connection, which is so so important right now. We hope 2022 will allow more face-to-face connections. We’ll get back to work now on the final touches on some new exciting Bella products coming your way in the next couple of months. Until then, happy framing!
