PPFA announces winners of International Framing Competition

Where can we see photos of all the winning pieces? I've been dying to see all of them! I see the amazing 3rd place piece here (because the winner posted it...thank you by the way - beautiful job) but when will all of them be posted? Am I not searching in the right place? We won 1st place for the Great Lakes PPFA Chapter, but didn't place in Vegas. Our piece arrived there very damaged...partly because my mount failed, but the outside of the frame is all scratched up. Dunno how that happened. Still, so happy to have been able to participate. Congratulations to everyone who not only won...but dared to enter, it was a challenging piece - but fun!

Sorry all for taking so long to reply. Computers and forums are a challenge to me. THANKYOU all for your comments.

Thanks Randy for posting photos from Vegas. It gives all framers a better perspective of the quality of competition.

Have some photos of my open piece. It depicts an image taken in Venice at the Carnaval of Masks.
The mats are made to resemble the rendered architecture of Venice.
Ragmat is torn into strips and added to a blender with distilled water, placed into a specially made mould, allowed to dry before coating with acrylic medium. The inner edge of the outer mat is guilded. The frame is modified to create additional rebate then guilded.
