Vism and Fespa UK will host the inaugural UK Graphic Awards, celebrating the achievements of the wide-format graphics printing and installation industry, and Thrive in Print, a new business conference dedicated to informing and educating wide-format printing business managers and owners.

The UK Graphic Awards will enable the industry to come together to celebrate and recognise the talent and hard work that goes into producing the UK’s most exceptional projects and the impact these have on the wider commercial and social community.

The ceremony will consist of a drinks reception, gala dinner, live music and awards and will take place on the evening of 8 September 2020, followed the next day by the Thrive in Print conference.

Venues for the events and all 12 competition categories will be confirmed soon, and the latter will include awards for internal and external retail installations, events and exhibition graphics, creativity and large scale project roll-outs. There will also be overall best in show awards and several others.
