PrintWeek Awards early bird deadline looming

With a little over a month to go until entries officially close for the PrintWeek Awards 2014, there’s still time to qualify for the early bird discounted entry fee, which expires next week.

While the standard entry deadline is 3 July, entries received on or before Friday 6 June will qualify for a 20% discount on the standard entry fee.

However, to qualify for the discount you only have to complete the online part of the entry form – companies will still have until 3 July to send in their physical entries.

For more information on entering and full details on the 24 categories, including the new ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year’ category, honouring printers’ own marketing initiatives, visit www.printweekawards.com.

The PrintWeek Awards is the industry’s leading Awards scheme and is a great way to promote your business to new and existing clients.

“We had some lovely approaches from major new direct accounts as a result of them seeing us win at the PrintWeek Awards last year,” said Westdale Press managing director Alan Padbury.

David Houghton, joint managing director of the 2013 Customer Service Team of the Year winner D2 Printing, added: “Just taking the first step and actually entering the awards sends a great message to everyone involved in your business, inside and out. It sets the bar for what you are trying to achieve.”

Independently judged by more than 20 leading print buyers, the awards attract hundreds of entries, with the winners revealed at a gala dinner at London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by a leading entertainer (last year’s host was Dara Ó Briain) the event is attended by around 1,000 leading figures from the industry.
