The Collection is open to printers, designers and corporate end-users.

Entries need to fulfil a number of criteria, including print excellence, innovative use of paper and board and creative and technical application of colour.

Winners will be announced at two events to be staged in Leeds and London in October.

Participants and nominees in the north of England will be invited to attend a ceremony at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds on 16 October, while southern entrants will attend a ceremony at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London on 30 October.

Entries must have been produced on one of Galerie Vision, Galerie Image, Galerie Art, Nimrod, Evolution, Diamond, Naturalis, Cypher or Essential Printers Boards. One winner will be chosen for each brand and, in addition to a trophy, will receive a prize from the respective mill sponsor.

There will also be a student award, run in conjunction with selected colleges, for the best interpretation of a brief provided by a sponsoring mill.

Application forms can be downloaded from the Premier Paper website at www.paper.co.uk, or obtained from local Premier Paper branches.

The closing date for entries is 25 August.
