2024 Print Excellence Awards Contest Final Call
We are still collecting PEA entries! The submission deadline is set for December 31, 2023. We encourage you to begin the submission process. We will gladly pick up and store your entries as soon as you have them identified for the contest.
Graphic Media Alliance members participate in the Print Excellence Awards for various reasons. Whether to assist in marketing their services to current and prospective clients, celebrate the craftsmen and craftswomen working behind the scenes, partake in celebratory events, or make their industry peers envious of their tremendous talent, these are all great reasons. But, for most of our members, it is about the opportunity to unite and celebrate the craft of printing.
For a special promotion, every company participating can enter one entry for free. We are also continuing the buy-one-get-one free promotion. For the first five entries, you will receive a second entry at no charge. Double your recognition and marketing potential for the same entry fee!
Every year out-of-state expert judges are brought in to review the entries and determine if they are worthy of a Bronze, Silver, or Gold award, as well as a Best of Region award in our 4 participating regions. These awards will be presented at our Print Week Celebrations in early spring.
From there, entries are advanced into the Best of Category competition, and ultimately one company per division will take home a Best of Show award. Other awards include the Judge's awards, as well as the Rising Star award given to a new participant in the competition. These awards are presented at our Grand Ceremony in August.
For ease of submission, try using our interactive Call for Entries form! This will make submitting your pieces even easier.
After you are on the form, you will select the category(s) via the hyperlink located on the left. Then, simply fill out the form on the right. Please note that your company details will automatically populate on additional entries.
Once the form is complete, select the "Print Form" button located on the bottom right. Attach your printed forms to the entries to complete the submission. Then you can send them to our office, or we can pick them up.
The interactive Call for Entries form is available here:
Printing Note: The "Print Page" button for each category works best if you download the form prior to printing.
