The Graphic Arts Show Company (GASC) and Two Sides North America, co-sponsors of the annual Positively Print Award recognition program, have announced that it’s now open for nominations. Currently in its seventh year, the program recognizes print advocacy campaigns that promote the enduring power and sustainability of print in today’s multi-channel media mix.
Intended to spotlight the variety of ways in which the effectiveness and sustainability of print are being promoted, the 2016 Positively Print recipient will be recognized at the Executive Outlook Conference on Sunday, September 25 – opening day of Graph Expo 16. The “Refresh” themed Graph Expo 16 will take place Sept. 25 – 28, 2016 in the Orange County Convention Center-North in Orlando, Florida.
“Two Sides is pleased to recognize through the Positively Print program, organizations that focus on the unique attributes, effectiveness and sustainability of print and paper, which so effectively aligns with our mission,” said Phil Riebel, President of Two Sides North America.
This year’s winner will join a highly distinguished and creative line-up of recent past winners that includes: Sappi North America’s A Communicator’s Guide to the Neuroscience of Touch (2015); IKEA’s Bookbook campaign (2014); Sappi Fine Paper’s Print & Book (2013); and PrintCity’s Print! Seen! Lean and Green campaign (2012). The 2016 Positively Print program is accepting submissions until Wednesday, June 1, 2016.
“The Positively Print award program was created to acknowledge creative and effective print advocacy campaigns within the entire graphic communications industry,” said Ralph Nappi, President of GASC. “Again this year, we want to demonstrate to companies involved in print that advocating for print can be done, and multiplies a powerful message that benefits our entire industry.”
