Jonathan Tuchner, Director Press and Public Affairs, Arts & Business

"The quality of the shortlist indicates the level of innovation and enterprising thinking happening in partnerships between business and the arts in this challenging environment. One way for the sector to weather the storm of the recession and cuts is to celebrate and share best-practice, which is the aim of our 32nd Awards. We want to celebrate the importance and value of business collaboration with the arts. These stories are a thank you to business and a blueprint for what can be achieved."
Colin Tweedy, Chief Executive, Arts & Business

A whisky brand, an international airline, a PR firm, a retail chain and a leading tech company are among the 21 business that are shortlisted with their arts partners in this year’s 32nd Arts & Business Awards.

The Awards recognise the very best of innovative cultural and commercial partnerships from around the UK.

This year, for the very first time, we would love you to vote for your favourite partnership.

Voting is open until Friday 1 October.

The independent judging panels who selected the shortlist will then consider all votes before making the final decision on the winners.

Each category is supported by a leading business committed to working with the arts: BP, Jaguar Land Rover, Lloyd’s, Prudential and media partners Telegraph Media Group and Classic FM.
