Westerville, Ohio, USA - Who is the best in all of the United States of America? Welcome to the Americas Print Awards, a three-year-old printing competition for the nation. The printing associations across the U.S.A. submitted their regional best-winning pieces. More than100 entries were received by the Americas Print Awards, and the TOP 19 WINNERS were recently revealed.

The Americas Printing Association Network (APAN), which is composed of 10 regional graphic communications associations from across the country, is proud to announce the winners of its 2024 Americas Print Awards competition. The winning entries were showcased during a live YouTube broadcast on October 17 (linked above and sponsored by Canon) that featured detailed video imagery and explanations of each winning piece.

For this competition, all entries were first submitted to the regional printing competitions sponsored by APAN’s members. 115 entries that garnered top honors at the regional level were then submitted to the Americas Print Awards to compete nationally. A panel of three industry experts spent a full day reviewing these entries to select 19 winners. As Cathy Skoglund, Chair of the Americas Print Awards and co-emcee for the broadcast stated, “Judging was incredibly difficult!”
