The Vinyl Cut has been named UK Regional Award winner of the Roland Creative Awards international design competition for its highly innovative van wrap entry. The Vinyl Cut will now travel to Japan for a sight-seeing trip of a lifetime and attend a special 30th anniversary event where it will compete for the worldwide grand prize - a Roland machine of its choice.
Simon Harrison and International Greetings UK have also received Honourable Mentions for their entries and each won an Apple iPad2 with Roland RH200S headphones.
Gillian Montanaro, head of marketing, Roland DG UK, said: “The Roland Creative Awards honour our founder’s vision of using digital technology to transform imagination into reality and all the team here at Roland DG UK offers their congratulations to the UK regional winner, The Vinyl Cut and all the other contestants, including those who received Honourable Mentions or won the Monthly People’s Choice Awards.
“The standard of entries was extremely high and we have been very impressed with the number of creative professionals right across the UK who shared their work with us, contributing to more than 1,100 entries worldwide. All the judges loved the van signage submitted by The Vinyl Cut, with many commenting on the impressive blend of technical skill and creativity that went into the van wrap. In my view, all our competition entrants demonstrated just how innovative and skillful this industry is.”
