The awards showcase examples of innovative creative collaborations between the business community and the arts sector. The winning partnerships represented a varied section of the business community and arts sectors. CultureTECH - which scooped the Arts Award has grown to become one of the biggest events of its kind in the north, bringing together arts, culture and technology, with almost 43,500 attending its festival last year.

AES Northern Ireland and Arthur Cox Solicitors & Cinemagic and Stephen Beggs collected the Award for Employee Engagement for their fantastic 'mock' trial as part of a health & safety training project with a difference.
