Best Art Vinyl

Best Art Vinyl is an annual award that first began in 2005. It celebrates artists and designers of vinyl record cover art.[1] The nomination process begins in November and the winners are announced in January,[2] and are exhibited at venues across the United Kingdom and Europe.[3] The favourites are voted for by the public from a selection of nominations by judges within the world of art and music and are displayed using Art Vinyl's unique Play & Display Flip Frame.[4][5][6][7][8]
