ABOUT THE 2015 VMA SHOWCASE AWARDS The 18th Annual VMA Showcase Awards is recognized as one of the most prestigious symbols of printing and design excellence and celebrates the best in the Northern California and Northern Nevada’s communications, printing and design industry. From the entries received, a select panel of judges decides if the entry is deserving of Gold, Silver or Bronze recognition. The judges further decide from the gold entries which will receive an award of recognition, grand awards, and highest honor of them all, the Best of Show. All Gold Award winners in the print category were forwarded on to the Printing Industries of America (PIA) Premier Print Awards to compete for the coveted Benny.
