The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) has opened the 32nd Annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards Competition, with entry forms available to print finishers, printers, design groups, brand owners and all others creating work worth celebrating. The Gold Leaf Awards recognize the best in print decorating and enhancements on greeting cards, folding cartons, book covers, calendars, direct mailers, labels and more.
The FSEA Gold Leaf Awards program has grown as entries are submitted from around the world by printers, finishers and binders that want to compete against the best in the industry with foil, UV coatings, diecuts, folds, embossed images and more. New technologies have fueled growth, too, with expanded award categories in areas such as digital embellishment processes and specialty UV coatings. Entries are judged on design, execution and level of difficulty in more than 30 categories, with a gold, silver and bronze award presented in each. A “Best of Show” award is selected from among all of the Gold Award winners.
“For over 30 years the FSEA Gold Leaf Awards have been celebrating the best of the best in print enhancements,” said FSEA Executive Director Jeff Peterson. “This year, we’re ready to ‘Dive Deep into the World of Embellishments’ and recognize the amazing work that is being done to bring attention to embellished printed pieces – whether that’s a highly decorated wine label, a foiled carton to draw consumer eyes on the retail shelf or a diecut holiday card that stands out from the crowd.”
All winning companies will be announced at Amplify Print, to be held June 10-12 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Rosemont, IL. Competition winners also will be highlighted in promotional campaigns, PostPress magazine and other trade publications, and on the FSEA website.
