Honoring Creativity and Innovation in Graphics Communications Printing
Hong Kong, 21 July, 2022 — FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific Limited announced today the call for entries for the Innovation Print Awards (IPA) 2022. The annual competition in its 15th year, aims to encourage users and designers to never stop innovating, and push the creative and technical boundaries of print combining both new and existing print technologies from FUJIFILM Business Innovation. IPA 2022 is open to customers in the Asia Pacific region where FUJIFILM Business Innovation has a presence.
Innovation Print Awards 2022
Award categories were refined and a new category “Packaging and Labels”*1 is included this year due to an overwhelming submission of digital labels entries last year. There will be an exclusive winner who will receive the “Best Innovation” award and it will be awarded to the entry that exceeds all judging criteria – print quality, degree of innovation, business effectiveness and overall creativity. Since last year, we have added a Special Recognition Award category to acknowledge entries with avant-garde design and clever use of print technology. The winning entries will be selected by the independent judging panel and assessed based on the four judging criteria.
