The 2015 Finat Labelling Competition is open for entries until 5 March 2015. Here's what you need to know to enter:
Is your work eligible?
Finat is the competition to find the best work in self-adhesive label print. It applauds the best in both end use/marketing impact and print and converting quality. Awards are given in the main segments where self-adhesive labels are used: alcoholic beverages, food, household, industrial, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, security labels, (self-) promotion, and booklet/coupon labels and for the major reel-fed print processes.
What are the judges looking for?
“The objective of this annual labelling competition is threefold,” Kurt Walker, Finat president, explained. “It not only helps highlight the advantages of self-adhesive labels and related products as effective marketing, promotional or identification tools, but definitely also encourages converters to extend their technical and quality boundaries. And last but not least, it promotes labels and labelling techniques on a worldwide basis and this to the benefit of the label and associated industries. I therefore invite all label converters to participate in this prestigious competition and to take advantage of the benefits it has to offer.”
Because you're into digital
Finat has revamped the participation details and entry form and has introduced a new, fifth category under Group E: Digital. This group has been added to recognise the role of digital printing. Its three categories are: solvent toner, dry toner and ink jet. The digital category is complementary to other categories, which include marketing/end-uses, printing processes, non-adhesive applications and innovation.
What do you win?
Award winners will receive their prize at the annual congress,11-13 June 2015, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The winning entries will be displayed at the congress and at Labelexpo Europe 2015. Selected winners of the FINAT Label Competition 2015 will be entered in the 2015 World Label Awards (WLA) Competition.
