Last night, at the Salle de Bal du Marché Bonsecours in Montreal, the 42th Gala Gutenberg. Over 470 print enthusiasts celebrated the excellence of print!
A wonderful atmosphere prevailed during the Cocktail Reception, the Exhibit and the Gutenberg Awards Evening, hosted by Marie-Soleil Michon.
The Gutenberg Gala is the premier event of the printing industry. It highlights the talent, creativity, and expertise of its artisans.
"The Committee worked very hard to prepare this 42th Gutenberg, and was privileged to obtain the support of many partners including Avenue de l'imprimeur, powered by Divicor, our Diamond partner, Canon, Enveloppe Concept, Fujifilm, Komcan Komori, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, SupremeX, Sustana and Xerox. We'd also like to thank our Gold, Silver and Bronze partners, who proudly support the Gutenberg," explains Yoan Robitaille, President of the 42th Gutenberg.
"Some new companies have demonstrated their know-how and sense of innovation. The Committee is delighted to discover that some of the newcomers to the Competition are very small companies operating in all sectors of production. Proud of their achievements, these companies presented highly original, technically challenging pieces," explains Yoan Robitaille.
The Mention Hors Québec was back for a second year, attracting the attention of new entrants to the Competition. The Mention Hors Québec is awarded to the piece printed in Canada, but outside Quebec, that receives the highest score in all categories. "The Mention will certainly be back in 2025! The interest in the Contest and the Gala continues to grow, and we're very pleased about that," adds Yoan Robitaille.
« L’atmosphère était magique, les collègues heureux de se retrouver et le décor, resplendissant ! Quelle merveilleuse soirée ! Cet événement est une source d’inspiration, de rencontres enrichissantes et de découvertes artistiques. Puissions-nous tous être inspirés par la magie de l’impression et des arts graphiques, et continuer à créer un monde plus beau et plus vibrant grâce à notre créativité collectiveLe Gutenberg est l’occasion par excellence de célébrer notre Industrie et l’imprimé sous toutes ses formes. Continuez de vous impliquer afin de faire rayonner notre dynamique Industrie » conclut Yoan Robitaille, président du Gutenberg 2024.
