Sustainable Design
Pieces in this category will be judged on their contribution to sustainability, either through content, or by techniques, processes and materials designed to reduce the environmental, social or economic costs of print communication.

Celebrating the art of writing, this category is limited to corporate identities, social stationery and invitations printed on Strathmore Pure Cotton, Strathmore Writing, Strathmore Script, Strathmore Elements, Strathmore Grandee or Strathmore Pastelle.

This category is for exceptional work printed on any of Mohawk’s digital papers on any digital color production press, including but not limited to the HP Indigo, Xerox iGen3 and Kodak NexPress.

On-Demand Books
You can print your on-demand book entry at any digital printer including online photo book sites like Blurb, using their ProLine papers, and Pinhole Press. Only one physical sample is needed for judging in this category.

$500: Honorable Mention
Up to 15 Honorable Mentions will each be awarded $500.

Entries will be judged in June 2012 on the basis of higher thinking in graphic design, excellence in print production, and appropriate paper choice. Our Mohawk Show 12 judges are Stanley Hainsworth (chair), Susana Rodrigues De Tembleque, Michael Jager and Jorge Alderete.
