Medalists in Advertising Design, Graphic Communications, and Screen Printing Technology Announced
Reston, VA - The Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation (GAERF) presented more than $25,000 in awards to the nation's top advertising design, graphic communications and screen printing technology students who participated in the SkillsUSA Championships held at the 51st annual National Leadership and Skills Conference, June 22-26, 2015, in Louisville, KY.
"GAERF is committed to supporting programs that prepare our workforce of the future," said Ralph J. Nappi, GAERF President. "In this spirit, we are delighted to recognize our industry's most talented students and encourage them to consider the many exciting career opportunities the graphic communications industry has to offer."
The annual event, which this year hosted more than 6,000 contestants competing in 100 different trade, technical and leadership fields, showcases the top career and technical education students in the nation. Its purpose is to reward students for excellence, directly involve industry in evaluating student performance, and provide training relevant to employers' needs. To that end, the exhibition—which occupies a space equivalent to 16 football fields—is held with the assistance and support of industry, trade associations and labor organizations.
To become eligible for the national competition, students must first compete at the state level. Two representatives from each state—one at the secondary school level and one at post-secondary—then advance to the national competition.
