Chicago, IL – GPA announces that they are accepting entries for their annual Printed Sample Contest until March 31, 2010. This year marks the fifth year of the contest, continuing a tradition that recognizes excellence and creativity in printing. Each year the competition grows bigger and better, yielding new and innovative examples of the opportunities available with GPA substrates.

For a printed piece to be eligible, it must be from an actual job or
promotion that was printed by a GPA customer on a qualified GPA substrate within the past year. There is no entry fee, and participants are encouraged to submit as many entries as they like.

Entries are accepted under six different categories:
* Ultra Film Non-Adhesive Films
* Ultra Film Pressure Sensitive Films
* Ultra Bak Plus Pressure Sensitive Papers
* Ultra Digital Papers
* Ultra Digital Pressure Sensitive Papers
* Ultra Digital Films

A panel of industry experts will judge each entry on uniqueness of design,
application use, quality of printing, and complexity of production. From
each of the six categories, a Best of Category winner is selected, and then
from those six, one entry is chosen as the Best of Show. Winners receive a framed copy of the winning piece, a monetary or grand prize, and industry recognition. This year's winners will be announced in April 2010.
