BACA unveil awards shortlist

As usual, there are some new categories, with one or two of the old ones being dropped. Awards for general antiques dealers and auctioneers have now been split into four regions as opposed to the two made last year, introducing a raft of new awards as a result.

Some of the specialist categories have changed too. Out are Musical Instruments, Art Nouveau/Deco, Sculpture, Costumes and Textiles and Post-War Design. In are Glass and Jewellery. Out also are Fair of the Year, Journalist of the Year and the Miller’s Club Award for Antiques Town/Village, while the BBC Homes & Antiques Magazine Award focuses on the best shopping street.
