swissQprint Creative Challenge Contest

swissQprint (Kriessern, Switzerland) organized a worldwide competition within the swissQprint user community this past spring. Customers from five continents took up the challenge and submitted 60 works. Judging was done by an internal swissQprint jury and two external experts. Together they were looking for originality, while also including process and print-related considerations. The public, too, had three weeks in which to cast their votes online — according to a press release from swissQprint.

Winners

  • 1st place: Haas Werbetechnik of Austria with “Symphony of creation.”
  • 2nd place: CMP Enseigne of France with “Woodstar.”
  • 3rd place: Gcolor Company Ltd. of Taiwan with “Alice Immersiveland.”
  • 4th place: Signaletik Diffusion of France with Le couteau swissQprint.
  • 5th place: Take Corporation of Japan with “Funny Moving Poster.”

Haas Werbetechnik (Austria) won first place in the competition.

The winners — a delegation from Haas Werbetechnik — will be traveling to swissQprint’s factory in Kriessern, Switzerland. Second to fifth placed winners are being rewarded with generous prizes — also per the release. 

This is the third time swissQprint has held the competition — first in 2016, then in 2019 and now this year. “Again, we marveled at our customers’ ingenuity, creativity and skill; they make the seemingly impossible happen,” Adriano Gut, key account manager at swissQprint, is quoted in the release.
