The In-plant Printing and Mailing Association debuted video awards this year.

By Bob Neubauer

As if awards for printing weren’t enough, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association ventured into a whole new media category this year: video. Its new Vision Awards highlighted self-promotional videos made by in-plants to publicize their shops’ capabilities. Fellow managers screened and judged the entries, and gold statues, reminiscent of the Oscars, were handed out during the awards banquet.

The winners:

• Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators

- Funniest Video (Who knew coffee could launch an entire staff into overdrive?)

- Best Actor (Chris Anderson has proven himself master of the bulging eyes look.)

• Colorado Springs School District

- Best Self Promotion (What better way to teach customers about your in-plant, without condescending, than to explain it to children?)

• Wachovia Commercial Print

- Most Creative (But does the staff always wear scrubs?)

• Church of Jesus Christ of LDS Printing Division

- Best Overall (Did someone say “Impressionists”?)
