These members shall inspect the print samples in 18 Quality Categories and six Performance Categories that have been submitted by 135 of the best Indian print firms.

Top persons from Parle Agro, HH Print Management, Ogilvy, Pearson, IIT Mumbai, Abott India, Cadbury India, Godrej, Titan, Sahara India, Crompton Greaves, Creativeland Asia and Multi Screen Media among others will be judging at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai.

After the jury process, a print gallery showcasing the shortlisted samples will be showcased for the benefit of special invitees. The idea is, as Suresh Ramakrishnan, the publisher of Haymarket Media said: "We want print buyers to touch-and-feel the print samples of full colour materials on multiple paper stocks and a dazzling array of applications."

He added: "This is what the PrintWeek India Awards facilitates. We bring together top calibre professionals who share an in-depth understanding of the business, from within the print industry and those who spend on print."

The PWI Awards shortlist will be announced in the forthcoming PWI issue dated August 12 and the winners will be honoured at the Awards night held on 25 August 2011 at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai.
