Alf Carrigan, a 50 year veteran of the traditional print industry, and Paul Callaghan, CEO of Print Pack Publishing Asia, return as appointed judges independent of Fuji Xerox.
“It’s exciting to see the quality of entrants getting better each year. I look forward to seeing what can be achieved by digital print this year,” Callaghan said.
Entrants will be judged based upon:
“It is one of the greatest pleasures for us at Fuji Xerox to recognize the great work our customers produce. We provide fantastic technology but it is through our customers that print truly comes alive,” said Mike Braggins, regional manager of Marketing Communication, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific. “It is not just the pride in receiving accolades, the real benefit for customers are that successes gained in PIXI can assist in marketing their services to their clients, as many of PIXI’s past winners have successfully done.”
“The PIXI awards are a celebration of digital print and its ongoing dynamism and change, which we witness with the vibrancy of each year’s entrants,“ Carrigan said. “We recognize that digital print is evolving, and hope to award those who capture the spirit of such change.”
