2009 Phoenix Challenges Competition


The annual Phoenix Challenge Competition is an energetic two-day event designed to heighten the awareness of flexography among students and teachers across the educational system, both domestically and internationally. The contest consists of a variety of skills tests including flexo print knowledge, prepress, platemaking, critical math skills and hands-on printing techniques. Students compete in teams for the top seat in the Flexo Challenge and can walk away with thousands of dollars in scholarship funds and the prestigious “Harper Trophy Cup” to display at their school for the following year. The competition continues to grow year after year and has attracted students all across North America. This year’s competition includes twenty teams with forty students participating. Along with the students, 18 teachers will attend workshops on flexo.
