In order to recognize the excellence of visual communication and Digital printing of works carried out in Spain, AP Digitales Magazine, a partner of C!Print Madrid, is calling for a new edition of its iconic awards.
What are the categories?
10 APé Awards for the Best Applications: Recognition of excellence in visual communication and digital printing in Spain. All projects produced in Spain during the last year and up to the closing date for entries, using a large- or small-format digital printing system, a cutting plotter, or finishing systems that provide added value, will be eligible for one of these awards. Any project that does not meet these requirements will be excluded. Applications produced in Spain that have been exhibited or applied in other countries are also eligible for the competition. Applications can be diverse: retail, POS, outdoor advertising, trade fairs and events, decoration and interior design, packaging, publishing, textiles, labels, etc. Projects created using laser, cutting, or 3D printing for use in the world of visual communication and advertising, or digital signage applications that combine their activity with print, will also be accepted.
APé Startup Award: An award designed to recognize entrepreneurs with innovative proposals seeking their opportunity in the fascinating world of digital printing and its applications. Companies created within the last two years and until the deadline for registration for these awards closes, are eligible for this award.
APé Business Achievement Award: Recognition of the experience and knowledge acquired over many years of experience in our country. This award can be given to a company or an individual entrepreneur.
APé Online Printing Award: More and more printing service providers are offering their services and products through an online store. We want to find the most innovative, functional, and intuitive platform that provides the greatest added value to its customers and offers the best shopping experience. National or international platforms are eligible to participate, provided their website is available in Spanish.
APé Award for #WomenInPrinting: In a sector where women are a clear minority, especially in management positions, this award aims to recognize all those women who lead a company in our printing industry, whether newly created or long-established; a printing service provider or a distributor of machinery and materials. Surprise us with your candidate!
APé Outreach Initiative Award: Recognition of initiatives organized by any company, association, or educational center that contribute to expanding our market and highlighting industry knowledge for the benefit of the entire printing and visual communication community.
