PRINTING United Alliance Opens Annual Product of the Year Awards Competition

PRINTING United Alliance, the largest and most comprehensive member-based printing and graphic arts association in the United States, today announces that the call for entries has opened for the annual Product of the Year Awards competition.

The competition includes more than 85 categories spanning the printing industry and judging this year will take place over a new virtual event format. The deadline to submit entries online is September 8, 2020.

This year, the coveted program features a streamlined entry site along with a new virtual gallery for displaying entries, which will be available at poy.printingunited.com. The program is open to inkjet output devices as well as non-output products that are currently available for sale. Winning companies achieve worldwide recognition and the ability to market their product as a winner of this prominent contest during PRINTING United Month this October, further highlighting the transition of the previously scheduled show in Atlanta now taking place digitally over four power-packed weeks of industry engagement.

“Product of the Year is always a thrilling competition and I’m looking forward to the progressive changes being implemented this year to allow for this great program to continue,” says Ray Weiss, Director of Digital Print Programs, PRINTING United Alliance. “In my many conversations with exhibitors, they are always excited for the opportunity to compete for this prestigious award.”
