Update February 18, 2021: We understand you are busy so we are happy to extend the 2021 Star Awards Entries & Nominations deadline to February 25, 2021 at 12:00 PM (noon).
Printing Industry Midwest (PIM) is excited to see your flawless and creative printed projects! Highlight your essential staff and clients by submitting your 2020 projects into PIM’s 2021 Star Awards competition! This year PIM is offering special reduced pricing on entries! All entries are due to PIM’s Office (remember we moved) on February 25, 2021.
Please note – all forms have the old due date (February 18), the current due date is February 25, 2021 at 12:00 PM (Noon).
Here is how the program works:
- FIND YOUR PROJECT(S)
Throughout the year, printing companies should save 2 samples of your best projects. We are currently looking for companies to enter their projects that have been printed and produced between January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
- REVIEW LIST
Next, review our CATEGORY LIST for descriptions about where your project will fit (one project can be submitted into multiple categories, 2 samples for each entry are needed). Read the descriptions carefully!
- PRINT, FILL OUT & MAIL
Print and fill out all the ENTRY FORMS. Mail all the forms and samples to our office (remember PIM has a new address). Please send all entries to PIM by the due date of February 25, 2021 at 12:00 PM (noon).
- JUDGE
After PIM receives all entries, a team of judges made up of industry experts will review all entries. An entry is judged first on technical expertise and quality of printing; next on design features and overall graphic appeal.
- CELEBRATE!!
