Join The #vintageglitz At The National Vintage Awards Uk 2014

Vintage businesses are being encouraged to enter the 2014 National Vintage Awards.

Due to take place in Central Birmingham on 19th June 2014, the NVAs were created in 2012 to celebrate the small, independent businesses that keep the vintage scene alive. They are open to any business or individual in the UK that feel they deserve recognition for their hard work and passion for vintage and antiques.

Alongside tickets to the evening event, presentation with an official 'NVA Winner' award, and the title of 'Best in the UK', winners will enjoy a comprehensive winner's package including a year's free advertising in The Vintage Directory, publicity via The National Vintage Awards website and that of the awards sponsors and a goody bag full of vintage treats.

All nominees will receive a complimentary 'PR pack' to help them draw in public votes, including an example press release, flyers, and also a month on the NVA website during the voting process, complete with a website link.

Businesses should nominate themselves at http://www.thenationalvintageawards.co.uk before 31st March 2014. Public voting opens in May 2014 and businesses who are short listed for an award will be announced on 1st June 2014, with the ceremony itself taking place on Thursday 19th June.
