It has been a great success, hundreds of entries from 41 different countries of the world, but most of all the quality of the submissions was absolutely fantastic and it has been an extremely hard job to narrow the number of finalists down to 21 ( yes 21 and not 20 becaus we had an ex-equo in the Decorating in Glass category ).
