75 Winners Selected in In-Print Contest 

In-Print Judging

Seventy-five printed pieces from 29 in-plants were selected as winners in this year's In-Print Competition co-sponsored by IPMA and In-Plant Graphics magazine.

 

The 35 Gold, 21 Silver, 18 Bronze and 1 Judges' Recognition Award winners were selected from over 400 entries during the judging conducted at Redlands Community College in El Reno, OK.

 

"Like previous years, I was blown away by the impressive quality of all the entries," explains IPMA Awards Chairperson Chris Anderson. "Overall the work submitted this year was awesome, and in my mind there are no losers," notes Anderson. "I was glad to see a few new names in the competition this year, as well as some innovative new ideas. I want to encourage every in-plant to enter the competition next year. Start putting away those printed pieces you are proud of in a safe place and be ready to submit them when the time."
