Fespa has launched its call for entries for its 2016 Awards. This year the global competition consists of 15 categories covering a variety of application themes including garment and wearables.
Fespa’s annual Awards programme celebrates the achievements of print service providers globally, 
aiming to find the brightest and best print projects, demonstrating real innovation and precision.
This year the global competition consists of 15 categories covering a variety of application themes including: in-store; fine art print; decals, outdoor and vehicle decoration; special effect print; garment and wearables; interior decoration; and industrial and functional printing. There’s also a brand new category for non-printed signage.
Each category can be entered using either a digital print process, screen print process or a combination of any print processes.
Deadline
Entrants have until the 29th January 2016 to submit their work which will be judged by an independent panel of global industry experts.
Outside of the application-led categories, there are three separate awards: Young Star, Best in Show and People’s Choice. The Young Star award is open to an employee or student in a print related discipline aged between 16 and 25. Best in Show is decided by the judges, across all the shortlisted entries, for the piece of work that offers the most outstanding example of print. The People’s Choice award is voted for online by the Fespa community. Voting will open on the 15th February 2016.
