Global Awards programme recognises the crème de la crème of the print community

FESPA has extended the deadline for its annual Awards to Friday 5 February, providing printers with an extra week to submit their entries.

The FESPA Awards 2016 will celebrate innovative and exceptional work from printers, recognising the creative potential of the global wide format print community across 15 categories including: instore; fine art print; decals; outdoor and vehicle decoration; special effect print; garment and wearables; interior decoration; industrial and functional printing and signage.

Each category can be entered using either a digital print process, screen print process or a combination of print processes. Competition details and entries can be submitted at www.fespa.com/awards.

All shortlisted entries will be showcased at FESPA Digital 2016, taking place from 8-11 March at the RAI Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam. The winners will be announced at FESPA's Gala Dinner on Wednesday 9 March 2016 at Beurs van Berlage.

The shortlisted entries will also be in with a chance of winning Best in Show, which is for the entry the judges feel offers the most outstanding example of print. The global print community will have the chance to vote for their favourite online - from the shortlisted entries - from 10 February. The entry with the most votes will be awarded the People's Choice Award.
