PrintIT! Annual Awards 2011 to join Northprint, the only national print show
Proskills is pleased to announce that PrintIT! is joining up with Northprint for its 2011 annual awards to be held in Harrogate.
The PrintIT! Awards, now in its 6th year, will celebrate the best of Britain’s young talent, honour all the finalist students and their teachers, and present category winners with individual awards as well as prizes for their schools in the form of print-related equipment.
Northprint is the only national print show for the UK print market thus providing an ideal platform for the 2011 awards which will attract a host of industry figures and print professionals from across the UK.
Northprint will provide a unique opportunity for finalist students to see the industry in action, speak with professionals and see exactly what the UK print industry has to offer.
Aiming to promote the Print Industry to students, their parents and teachers, PrintIT!, has maintained its partnership with leading charity The Fairtrade Foundation, has engaged more than 100,000 students from over 1,000 schools in England, as well as seen the launch of a new version for schools in Scotland, plus, over 500 printers have twinned with schools as part of the programme.
“Despite the tough economic climate, I’m delighted the Print industry continues to support PrintIT! and we already have several major sponsors confirmed for PrintIT! year 6”, says Tom Bowtell, General Manager of Proskills who is responsible for the team delivering PrintIT! “We are all immensely proud of PrintIT! and we are excited to be able to hold the annual awards at Northprint which will allow students and teachers to see the best the UK print industry has to offer, which we hope will make young people enthusiastic about a future career in the industry.”
