The specialty imaging industry is already heating up for the highly anticipated 2015 SGIA Expo (Atlanta, November 4–6) — and the annual ASDPT Tom Frecska Student Printing Competition is no exception.

Each year on the trade show floor, the competition honors graphics arts students in a variety of digital and screen printing categories. All entries are submitted by SGIA Educator Members on behalf of their students, and the winners are displayed in front of thousands of Expo attendees — and future employers.

Both secondary and post-secondary works are eligible for entry, and all category winners are considered for the coveted "Best in Show" award. This competition offers unmatched exposure for the future generation of specialty imagers and provides unlimited opportunity for growth.

Submit your entry by July 31, 2015 and show us what your students are made of in the top student printing competition in the industry.
