Entry to the FESPA 2007 premier awards competition, which recognises excellence in screen printing and wide-format digital imaging, is now open.

Entry to the FESPA 2007 premier awards competition, which recognises excellence in screen printing and wide-format digital imaging, is now open.

All printers who are members of national screen printing associations affiliated to FESPA, or are FESPA individual members, can enter with some industrial categories also being open to non-members.

Those wishing to enter the competition can do so by completing the competition registration form before May 5.

Competition entries must be submitted to FESPA by May 25.

All work that has been produced in normal production during the period from June 2005 and March 2007 is eligible for entry, added FESPA.

The aim of the awards is for screen printers and digital printers to gain exposure within the industry.

Nigel Steffens, general secretary of FESPA, commented: "The awards offer printers a high profile chance to showcase their work to an international audience of thousands of people.

We at FESPA feel that the high standard of work that is being achieved by printers across our associations should be celebrated.

We hope that printers seize the opportunity to exhibit their work and gain recognition for their achievements." The number of categories has risen this year to 22, with the inclusion of a new digital category for pure textile.

Two other categories have been amended to include industrial applications and signage.

Full details of categories and guidelines are also available from the website.

Companies can enter any number of categories within the competition, though only two entries can be accepted per category, said FESPA.

Entries will be assessed by teams of judges chosen from an international panel on June 3 and 4, just before FESPA 2007, which is to be staged in Berlin (Germany) from June 5 - 9.

All of the entries will be displayed at the exhibition in the awards pavilion and they will be able to be viewed by all visitors to the show.

The winners will be notified of their achievements before June 5 and they will be invited to attend the FESPA 2007 awards winners party on June 7 in the Messe Berlin halls.
