2009 PEAK Awards Call for Entries Now Open

Print Solutions Magazine will begin taking entries for the 2009 Print Excellence And Knowledge (PEAK) Awards competition.

This established competition spotlights companies that not only meet customers' printing needs through creativity in design, manufacturing, fulfillment, and other services, but also solves problems or improves business functions. The 2008 PEAK awards received more than 250 entries in 42 different categories.

"PEAK entries get more and more creative every year," said Roxanne Rash, PEAK Award program director. "For example, Andy Smalley, the president of Turnkey Graphics and winner of the Money Maker category last year, developed print collateral for an orthodontist that helped double patient referrals and created a huge return on investment."

The 42 categories for PEAK Awards include: Affixed Products, Cross Media, Green Solutions Commercial Printing, Digital Printing, Promotional Products, Direct Mail, and more.

Grand prize winners from each category will be presented with a PEAK Award trophy and honored at a private VIP awards ceremony and reception during the 2009 Print Solutions Conference & Expo in Chicago. All winners receive PEAK Award Winner logos to use on their own promotions, plus a press release from Print Solutions Magazine naming their company as a winner.

To enter the 2009 PEAK Awards competition, your print application must have been printed between March 1, 2008 and May 8, 2009. The submission deadline is May 11. Cost of entry for Print Services Distribution Association (PSDA) members is $80 for the first entry and $40 for each subsequent entry. The cost for non-members is $150 for the first entry and $75 for each subsequent entry.
