Print Awards Judges & Judging
With judging now complete, FIAUK would like to thank our panel of judges that kindly gave up their time and extend our thanks to Sandon Global, for hosting the judging process once again.

Our 2023 judging was exceptionally hard, with extremely strong entries from across the market and a record number of entries to analyse and examine. The standard has been very high, so selecting winners has proved a difficult task!

Our judging panel included Tony Rymer of Roberts Mart, Paul O’Connor of DS Smith Packaging Livingston, Cy Davies of Absolute, Gary Pollard of hubergroup, Lucy Shepherd of Warburtons, Trevor Lowes of Reproflex 3, and Vince Ward of Smurfit Kappa and Student of the Year 2022.
 
We were also delighted to see many new businesses entering for the first time, including Nelipak, TCL Packaging, Heritage Envelopes, Kingfisher Labels, and more!
 
We wish the best of luck to all our FIAUK Print Awards entrants.
