THE AWARDS

The UK Balloon Artist Awards was created by Amelia Adkins, Founder and Managing Director of one of the UK’s leading balloon wholesalers, Pro Balloon Shop.

Amelia’s vision was to create an inclusive event that empowers artists to step out of their comfort zone and strive for excellence in their everyday work.

This event provides a place for artists and industry professionals to celebrate their achievements over the past year, let their hair down and mingle with others in the industry over a glass of fizz or two!

A message from Amelia:

"I couldn’t be more proud of the event we’ve built. Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed talented artists receiving the recognition they truly deserve for their remarkable creations. Many have left the event with renewed confidence, ready to elevate their businesses to new heights. This has been the most rewarding experience of my career in the balloon industry, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for both the event and its inspiring award winners."
