Competition question

[Kimberly Dow]

Thanks Chris and Richard!

It is a standard size, so I guess I can replace it and then try to get the plaque off. I will try the hairdryer trick to start with - thank you.

Chris, I think it's a great idea to show the award in certain situations. It's a figurative and I want it to sell. I suppose the award may be impressive to potential portrait clients, but what about an actual collector? I would think it would be impressive to them as well, but when someone is buying art - do they want it displayed right on the frame like that if it's won an award? Or would that maybe be a decorative no-no for their home? Just wondering out loud.
