No matter your region, take advantage of this opportunity and celebrate print with us!

Small and large printers alike, from large format displays to the smallest labels, books, magazines and packaging, bring us color and originality! The Gutenberg Contest is not only for Montreal and the surrounding areas, nor only for the big players in the industry. The challenges are real, regardless of geographic location or company size!

Here are the 14 categories of the Gutenberg 2024 Competition:

Gutenberg 100% Digital
Gutenberg Display
Gutenberg Books Editing
Gutenberg Magazines Editing
Gutenberg Ennoblement, Finishing and Complementary Processes
Gutenberg Labels
Gutenberg Packaging
Gutenberg Flexible Packaging
Gutenberg Non-Conventional Material
Gutenberg Marketing (Self-Promotion)
Gutenberg Marketing (Customer)

GutenVERT

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. Pieces will be judged according to the final result.
