2025 Print Excellence Awards

The 2025 PEA competition officially kicked off on September 1, 2024! We're happy to accept entries and will even pick them up for you. Just let us know that you have entries ready, and we'll take care of the rest. The deadline for entries is December 31, 2024. 


2025 PEA

Graphic Media Alliance members participate in the Print Excellence Awards for a variety of compelling reasons. Whether it’s to enhance their marketing efforts with current and prospective clients, to recognize the talented craftsmen and craftswomen who work behind the scenes, to take part in industry celebrations, or to showcase their extraordinary skills to peers, the benefits are clear. However, for most of our members, the true reward lies in the opportunity to come together and celebrate the timeless craft of printing.

The interactive Call for Entries form is available here:  PEA Interactive Call for Entries

Printing Note: The "Print Page" button for each category works best if you download the form prior to printing. NOTE that the Call for Entries is a larger document and may take longer to download.

We have created an easy tutorial for those unfamiliar with using the interactive Call for Entries. If you would like a refresher, please check out this video: Call for Entries Tutorial


The PEA contest entry fee has remained the same: $35 per entry for GMA members; $75 for nonmembers.
