Print Excellence Awards Contest 2025
The Print Excellence Awards have long been a staple for Graphic Media Alliance members, offering an opportunity to showcase talent, innovation, and craftsmanship in the printing industry. From marketing opportunities with clients to recognizing the behind-the-scenes brilliance of dedicated craftsmen and women, this event provides a platform for members to celebrate their work and connect with peers. But at its heart, the Print Excellence Awards are about coming together to honor the timeless craft of print.
In 2024, the event saw impressive participation, with 542 entries submitted by 54 member companies—an inspiring testament to the passion and expertise within our community. As we set our sights on 2025, the goal is to continue that momentum and make the upcoming awards even bigger and better. With a diverse membership spanning Ohio, Michigan, and northern Kentucky, we’re confident we can reach new heights—but we need your help to get there.
While members are encouraged to submit as many entries as possible, we’re asking for at least one from every company. And if logistics are a concern, don’t worry—our team will even come to your location to collect entries in person.
For this year, all members will receive one free entry into the competition! In addition, those member companies submitting more than one entry may participate in a BOGO, Buy One Get One free, for up to 5 entries. Regular fees apply beyond 10 entries.
Excitingly, the 2025 Print Excellence Awards will feature a new element: the Americas Print Awards, an international competition hosted by the Americas Printing Association Network. Select "Best of Category" winners from the Print Excellence Awards will have the chance to compete on a national stage, giving them even more recognition for their exceptional work.
We’re also thrilled to increase student participation this year, as young talent will engage with industry leaders, showcase their projects, and participate in Print Week events. The Grand Ceremony will not only celebrate the best in the industry but will also highlight the next generation of printers, demonstrating our collective commitment to the future of print. There is no fee for entry into the Student Graphic Design category.
Your support and participation are invaluable to the success of the Print Excellence Awards. We can’t wait to see the remarkable entries that 2025 will bring!
