What is the Gutenberg Contest?
About the Gutenberg: 43 years of celebrating the industry!
Since 2013, during The Revolution, The Gutenberg continues to bring the industry together, raise the bar for printers and help push our boundaries. It celebrates the talent, creativity and craftsmanship of its artisans.
The Contest celebrates the talent, creativity, and know-how of its artisans in Canada! It's a unique opportunity to showcase your talent!
Small and large printers alike, from large format displays to the smallest labels, books, magazines and packaging, bring us color and originality!
Whatever your region in Canada, take part in this prestigious competition, and celebrate print!
But what else?
On the committee, we sometimes hear, “I don't have anything worthy of a Gutenberg!”. We like to reply that the Gutenberg Contest is not a beauty contest. Among other things, the judges look at the production process.The “look” is regarded, but in the Gutenberg context, the percentage given to design is only 15% of the total score.
Perhaps you've hit a few bumps in the road, or been involved in the production of an innovative project? Did you do your utmost to produce a quality item? Did you use several pieces of equipment or processes, or just one? Are you proud of a project that has earned your customer's trust year after year?
Remember that the categories (except for the 100% digital category) do not take into account the printing process. You can therefore submit pieces in the same category that have been produced using offset, digital, silkscreen, inkjet, flexo, finishing, etc., or combinations of different processes.
Solution creators!
You are certainly printers, but you’re also resourceful, inventive and solution-oriented! You’ll stop at nothing to bring a project to fruition. So be proud of your achievements, promote your teams and get involved!
Together, one piece at a time, let's contribute to the celebration of the 43rd Gala Gutenberg! We are looking forward to seeing your creations!
