Golden Image Gallery hosted the industry’s best of the best prints and applications

New Orleans - SGIA presented winners of the Golden Image Competition yesterday at the 2017 SGIA Expo (New Orleans; October 10–12). Judges evaluated 300 entries from over 60 companies in 53 categories, and the Best of Show recipients were honored with the top awards in the competition. The People’s Choice award is chosen based on the entry receiving the most votes from attendees visiting the Golden Image Gallery.

The Golden Image Competition recognizes the highest standard of imaging and includes almost every item — no matter how complex — in the specialty graphics industry. Among the Gold winners, the exceptional entries were chosen by members of the Academy of Screen and Digital Printing Technologies and given the highly sought-after “Best of Show” award.
