FESPA announces extension on awards entries

It is not too late to enter the 2025 FESPA Awards as the organisation has announced an extension for entry submissions.

Specialty printers and sign makers now have until midnight on January 6 to enter one or multiple of the 18 categories being judged.

They include display, packaging, wrapping, special effects and textile and garment printing – the full list can be seen here.

Entrants should be aware that each submission is automatically considered for a further four categories.

These are: The People’s Choice and Best in Show Awards, as well as two Judge’s Awards (Innovation and Sustainability), which will be carefully selected by the judges themselves.

Voting for the People’s Choice Award is open from January 6 to 23, and all shortlisted entries will be announced on February 23. Following this, all shortlisted entries will be on display at FESPA Global Print Expo in May, at the Messe Berlin, Germany.

The official awards ceremony will take place on May 7, followed by a drink’s reception.

All shortlisted entrants will be invited to attend alongside industry experts, media and sponsors.
