Heidelberg Extends Closing Date for the Heidelberg Eco Printing Award

Prize fund of EUR 50,000

The winners of the Heidelberg Eco Printing Award will receive a sculpture made of olive wood and steel, and prize money totaling EUR 50,000. Special materials have been selected for the HEI ECO sculpture as a symbol of ecological printing. The olive wood stands for nature. It was selected for its ethnicity and vibrancy, machined, and then polished by hand. Despite its strict geometrical shape, it still retains much of its natural, organic grace. The steel plate stands for technology, being the material that is used to build the presses. Investing in environmentally friendly technology can help reduce the impact on the environment while raising the productivity of printshops.
