More Than an Awards Ceremony... It's Print's Biggest Night of the Year
On Thursday, August 20, Graphic Media Alliance will welcome the industry's best to Revery, the stunning rooftop venue atop the historic Smith Brothers Hardware Building in downtown Columbus, for the 2026 Print Excellence Awards Grand Ceremony.
After a record-breaking competition featuring 689 entries, this year's celebration promises to be one of our most memorable evenings yet. Together, we'll recognize the incredible creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation that define our industry while honoring Best of Category winners, announcing this year's prestigious Best of Show recipients, celebrating our Rising Star Award, and letting attendees cast their votes in the always-popular People's Choice Award competition.
Of course, the evening is about more than awards. It's an opportunity to reconnect with customers, suppliers, colleagues, and friends from across the region while enjoying a plated dinner, drinks, and one of the best networking events of the year. And because every great celebration deserves a few unexpected moments, we've planned a few special surprises throughout the evening that you won't want to miss.
Whether your company has work entered in this year's competition or you simply want to celebrate the incredible talent within our industry, the Grand Ceremony is the perfect opportunity to recognize excellence and enjoy an evening together.
