59 awards were submitted for the 2017 round, and the judging process is underway.
The Supreme Award winner, Awards winners and Commendations will be announced in Glasgow on Friday 11 November at the GIA Annual Members Dinner at Oran Mor (originally Kelvinside Parish Church 1862 by J.J. Stevenson) a gothic building with a series of extraordinary more recent ceiling paintings undertaken during the restoration of 2002-2004 by the Glasgow-born writer and artist Alasdair Gray.
