DEADLINE EXTENDED: 2016 Impressions Awards
The deadline for entry to the industry’s most prestigious apparel decorating competition, the 2016 Impressions Awards, has been extended to Sept. 15.
That means interested participants have even more time to send in their work. Decorators of all sizes and experience levels are invited to participate. The beauty of this industry is that you don’t have to be the biggest to be the best.
The 38th annual contest will be judged at the Fort Worth Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) event, which will be held Oct. 6-8. Impressions Awards winners will be announced Oct. 8.
All winners will be featured in the January 2017 issue of Impressions magazine, online in the Impressions Awards & Design Galleries and through Impressions’ Facebook and Twitter social media sites. Winning entries also will be displayed at the Impressions booth at all of next year’s ISS events.
As always, there is no cost to enter, and contestants can enter as many categories as they wish. The only catch is that you must submit a separate sample and entry form for each entry.
We encourage all interested contestants to enter today! To download an entry form with complete rules and other information, please visit impressions.issshows.com. — L.V.
