Be a Star!

Enter the Impressions Awards today.
Aug 8, 2008

Apparel decorators, this is your chance to have your work displayed and assessed in the industry's most prestigious apparel decorating competition — the 2008 Impressions Awards. The 30th annual contest will be judged at the Fort Worth Imprinted Sportswear Show, October 3-5, 2008. Winners will be announced on Saturday, October 4.

Decorators of all sizes and experience levels are invited to submit their work — the beauty of this industry is that you don't have to be the biggest to be the best. Special categories for singlehead embroidery and manual screen printing shops are designed to showcase everyone's work — even if you just started your business this year or have never entered before.

All first-place and honorable mention winners will be featured in the January 2009 issue of Impressions magazine, on impressionsmag.com, and will be displayed at the Impressions booth at all 2009 Imprinted Sportswear Shows.

There's no cost to enter, and you can enter as many of the categories as you wish. The only catch is that we have to have a separate sample and entry form for each entry.

The deadline for entering the 2008 Impressions Awards has been extended to Monday, Sept. 15, 2008.

Click here for the official entry form, and e-mail assistant editor Susie McManus at smcmanus@impressionsmag.com with any questions.
