SwissQprint recently organised a worldwide competition involving the swissQprint user community. Customers from five continents took up the challenge and submitted 60 works.
For the third time, swissQprint invited all users around the globe to join the Creative Challenge. 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.
The first place winner is Haas Werbetechnik of Austria with ‘Symphony of creation’, a unique composition of highly varied materials and printing techniques: metallic effects, droptix, white, UV varnish and 3D relief printing. Having already won the previous swissQprint Creative Challenge in 2019, Haas Werbetechnik successfully defended its pole position.
The second place winner is CMP Enseigne of France with ‘Woodstar’, a truly spectacular work of art. Transparent areas, droptix and lenticular printing, relief and metallic effects, plus the clever use of varnish together create a stunning display.
The third place winner is Gcolor Company Ltd. of Taiwan with ‘Alice Immersiveland’. Lenticular printing is the secret to a fairytale-like transformation of the image and an additional printed relief completes the magic.
In fourth place is Signaletik Diffusion of France with «Le couteau swissQprint», a detailed replica of a Swiss Army knife, ornamented with relief elements. Various designs impart a distinctive look to each one of the tools.
In fifth place is Take Corporation of Japan with ‘Funny Moving Poster’, a test piece for an engaging shop window display. Rotating patterns draw attention to the product.
The winners, a delegation from Haas Werbetechnik, will be travelling to swissQprint’s factory in Kriessern, Switzerland. Second to fifth placed winners are being rewarded with generous prizes.
Adriano Gut, Key Account Manager at swissQprint, said, Again, we marvelled at our customers’ ingenuity, creativity and skill; they make the seemingly impossible happen.’ A gallery displaying all the works will shortly go live swissQprint’s website.
