This October, the Irish Micro Business Awards return for their 10th annual celebration, honouring Ireland’s most dedicated sole traders and micro‑enterprises. As a micro-business ourselves, we’re delighted to be this year’s supplier of award prizes, supplying 16 bespoke framed photographs for the ceremony, celebrating the leaders of Ireland’s micro business community.
Why we love this partnership
The Irish Micro Business Awards shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of Ireland’s business world, the driven, creative individuals turning ideas into reality through dedication, hard work, and innovation. As a family-run, Irish business, this really resonates with us. Every photograph we print, frame, and finish in our studio carries that same commitment to quality, care, and meaning.
Being entrusted with these awards is more than just a production job to us, it’s a chance to create something timeless, personal, and beautifully crafted that winners can display with pride.
From concept to final product: how we collaborated
Throughout 2025, we worked closely with the organisers to make sure every detail was just right.
We helped choose photographs that tell a story, evoke emotion, and reflect Ireland, photographs that winners would be proud to display. The organisers had input at every stage, making sure each piece felt meaningful and relevant to its award category.
All 16 awards were framed in A4 size, balancing visual impact on stage with practicality for display at home or in the office. For the frames, we explored options including black, natural wood, and custom finishes before agreeing on sleek black, creating a timeless and cohesive look. Each award also features the awards logo and a custom engraved plate with the category name, adding a touch of gravitas and making every piece a true memento.
Every photograph was printed, framed, and inspected in our Co. Clare studio, ensuring the highest quality. Once ready, we personally delivered all 16 awards to Portlaoise ahead of the ceremony.
The value of a framed photograph as an award
Framed photographs offer recognition that lasts long after the ceremony. They become a permanent feature on walls, a daily reminder of achievement, while also telling a story and celebrating the values and effort behind the winner’s success. These awards are versatile too, looking just as at home in an office, home, or boardroom, offering tasteful and enduring recognition that winners can treasure for years to come. And of course, it's appropriate to celebrate Irish business leaders with Irish-made award prizes.
What the winners will take home
Each recipient receives their bespoke framed photograph, printed and finished in Ireland, a matching engraved plate showing their award category, and a high-quality finish designed to last, resist fading, and continue looking beautiful for years.
We hope these awards become a lasting source of pride, not just for the moment, but for the future.
Looking ahead
Working with the Irish Micro Business Awards has been a wonderful creative collaboration from start to finish. Projects like this are exactly what we love: combining artistic vision, craftsmanship, and personal care to celebrate people in a meaningful way.
