WAN-IFRA is inviting entries for its second annual Print Innovation Awards 2019, which is an initiative of the World Printers Forum. The competition celebrates the most innovative print ads as well as products of newspaper and magazine publishers worldwide. Innovations in the publishing industry are not confined to the digital sector, but also to be found in print. In order to demonstrate this to a wider public worldwide, the World Printers Forum has launched the Print Innovation Awards in 2018.
With these awards, the WAN-IFRA’s World Printers Forum has closed a gap. The competition recognises the most highly innovative print ads as well as newspaper and magazine publishers’ products worldwide and is open to newspaper and magazine publishers as well as advertisers or advertising agencies.
