FAQs

1. Why should I enter?

If you win a PrintWeek Award, you win more than just the respect of your colleagues. Our Awards give you a unique marketing advantage over your competitors.

2. What makes these Awards so special?

We don’t think it’s fair to judge a company by one job. So, we ask entrants for four different print jobs. This ensures we can measure the consistency as well as the quality of the output.

3. Why four different job samples?

We believe a printer should be judged on a body of work, not just one single piece of print. Four different print jobs per entry enable the judges to appreciate your prowess in as wide a variety of skills as possible.

4. What are the ‘Quality’ Awards?

The ‘Quality’ Awards judge the quality of print output in several different categories (please refer to Quality Awards category descriptions).

The entrants are expected to send in one print sample each of four different print jobs. This ensures we can measure the consistency as well as the quality of the output.

5. What are the ‘Performance’ Awards?

The ‘Performance’ Awards are judged on the financial performance, strategic growth, investment in technology and people of the company in the previous fiscal year.

Please note: All your data will be handled with the strictest confidentiality.

6. What are the Special Awards?

This edition of PrintWeek Awards introduces a new category: Special Industry Awards, a total of five awards will be presented to recognise factories and teams in the Indian print industry who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

7. Who judges the entries?

We think the most demanding judge is your customer. Therefore, PrintWeek will use a team of expert print buyers to form the judging panel. On board will also be print experts who will evaluate the print finesse. The panel is then split to allow each judge to concentrate on categories within his or her chosen field of print buying and expertise.

8. Shortlist

A list of the shortlisted companies will be published in the October 2023 issue of PrintWeek and will be available on our website www.printweek.in and www.printweekindiaawards.com

9. What about the big night?

The PrintWeek Awards Night will be held on 2 November 2023. Even if you don’t enter or don’t make it to the shortlist, you can still come along to an evening, which is truly a celebration of print.
