UK Graphic Awards entry options extended

Organisers of the inaugural UK Graphic Awards - scheduled to take place on 15 September - have extended entry options and issued a statement confirming that judging will go ahead on schedule as planned despite the COVID-19 working restrictions.

“We’re open for entries. Judging will take place in July. If we have to do it remotely we’ll do it remotely,” said Dan Tyler, MD of Vism and organiser of the event alongside Fespa UK Association. He added: “Across the sector, we’re seeing a shift from panic to positivity in recent days. The whole point of this event was always to bring the large-format print community together to share experiences, celebrate the best and most creative work produced by our peers, network and enjoy each other’s company. Now more than ever, the team at Fespa UK and I all feel that this is going to be absolutely essential. We believe we have a responsibility to press on and bring everyone together, so that’s exactly what we’ll do. We’ve decided to open it up so people can enter as many categories as they want.”
