- Self-Promotion
- Non-Traditional

Started in 1960, the Excellence in Flexography Awards is the longest running and most prestigious annual print competition in the industry, and the one which flexographers from around the world trust to define objectively superlative flexographic work. Each of the hundreds of entries received every year is individually evaluated by a panel of judges on its degree of difficulty and level of execution.
“The Excellence in Flexography Awards provides printers with the opportunity to determine how well they stack up to their peers, and it brings out some amazing flexographically-printed pieces,” said Tension Corp’s Lon Robinson, chair of the Excellence in Flexography Awards Committee. “For those printers that receive a best of show, gold, silver or bronze award, it’s proof of their abilities. For operators, it’s a validation of their hard work.”
Winners in the 2020 Excellence in Flexography Awards will be presented on April 19, 2020 at FORUM 2020’s Awards Banquet, kicking off a year-long victory lap that includes coverage in FLEXO Magazine, a display inside INFOFLEX 2020, and promotion throughout FTA’s social media channels (which include Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook). In addition, Best of Show winners are subsequently entered into several international awards competitions, including the FTA Europe Diamond Awards 2020 and ABFLEXO’s print contest.
To enter the 2020 competition, visit the Excellence in Flexography Awards web page and download a brochure. FTA members get their first entry free; members who joined in 2019 get their first five entries free. Entries must be received by Jan. 16, 2020.
