imPRESS

PIAG's signature annual event celebrating the best of Georgia print.

Each year, print industry professionals gather to celebrate the industry and the accomplishments of those in it. Part of the annual imPRESS event is honoring the winners of PIAG's Print Excellence Competition, which recognizes and rewards printing, finishing, and design companies who combine fine craftsmanship, creativity, and cutting-edge technology in order to produce outstanding finished products.

In addition, we also recognize the recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Award, which honors an individual who has been a long-term major contributor to Georgia's graphic arts industry.

New in 2024, we are excited to announce the Emerging Leader Award, recognizing a rising star who has made impactful contributions to their organization, the industry, and their community.

Gather with your peers, make new friends, and celebrate the outstanding pieces that have been produced in Georgia at this year’s PIAG imPRESS Celebration of Print + Showcase on August 8 at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North.

View photos and winners from last year's event.
