FESPA 2019 Awards Calls For Young Designers

The 28th edition of the FESPA Awards is now open.

Launched in 1991, the FESPA Awards is the longest running awards in the speciality print industry, with last year’s awards receiving over 200 entries from 30 countries, which were shortlisted and awarded at the FESPA Gala Night in front of over 300 guests.

For up and cming Designers the Young Star Award can be entered by those aged 16 to 25, working as a junior employee, trainee or student in any print related discipline. Entrants can enter this award by submitting work in any of the print related categories.
 
This year FESPA has introduced two sub-categories for the Young Star Award:

• Vocational trainee in digital or screen printing – including apprentices or interns that have been on placement for more than 12 months, endorsed by their manager.

• Design student for digital or screen printing endorsed by their educational establishment.

 Entrants will automatically be entered for two further awards:

• The People’s Choice Award, which is selected by FESPA’s online community from all entries. Voting will be open from 4 February to 4 March 2019.

• The Best in Show Award, decided by the FESPA Awards Judges.

Within each print category, there are four sub-categories which applicants can enter: digital printing, screen printing, mixed techniques and non-printed. For more information on all of this year’s categories visit: www.fespaawards.com/categories   
 
Early bird and FESPA member rates will be available for entries made before 2 November 2018.
