In an awards ceremony on June 14 in Buffalo, New York, the six winners of In-Print Best of Show awards from the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 were announced at last. There were some surprises.
The awards ceremony was a highlight of the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) conference, the first one in three years. Nearly 140 in-plant managers and other attendees were at the event, joined by 76 representatives from 38 vendor sponsors.
With no award ceremony in 2020 and 2021, the winners of the In-Print Best of Show awards for those years have been kept secret by IPMA and In-plant Impressions, cosponsors of the print contest. But at the ceremony, six in-plants learned that their pieces had been picked by judges as the best overall entries out of all offset or non-offset Gold winners.
Those winners are:
2020
- Offset Best of Show: University of Texas at Austin (annual reports)
- Non-Offset Best of Show: Bloomberg Ink (catalogs)
2021
- Offset Best of Show: University of Oklahoma (annual reports)
- Non-Offset Best of Show: University of Pittsburgh (greeting cards/programs)
2022
- Offset Best of Show: University of Nebraska, Lincoln (greeting cards/programs)
- Non-Offset Best of Show: Oregon State University (booklets)
IPI congratulates these winners for their exemplary work.
