The Association for PRINT Technologies in partnership with Konica Minolta, is pleased to announce the launch of the 12th annual Student Design Competition; encouraging students to demonstrate design-to-print knowledge and to create an original printed entry. Well respected and frequently included in class curriculums, APTech’s Student Design Competition expands awareness and interest in the print industry and exposes the future workforce to print beyond theory.
Each year the competition theme changes. For 2020, themed “MAIL MATTERS!” students are challenged to design and print a personalized tangible mail piece; focusing on the tactile component of omnichannel marketing and the importance of personalization.
Entries will be judged on their unique expression and engaging theme, with an emphasis on personalization, originality, and correct use of optional printing enhancements. One secondary and one post-secondary school winner will be identified for each of the first, second, and third-place awards. All entries will be showcased online and during Brand Print Americas 2020 in Rosemont, IL, September 15-17.
