A select panel of judges decide on Gold, Silver or Bronze recognition for each entry. From the Gold winners, judges award specific entries with a Grand Award, Judges’ Choice Award, and the highest honor of them all, the Best of Show Award. All Gold Winners in the print category are forwarded to the Printing Industries of America (PIA) Premier Print Awards to compete for the coveted Benny in the national competition.
