15th Anniversary Album wins top print award
CityU's 15th Anniversary Commemorative Album, titled Towards a New Era of Excellence, has won the 2000 Premier Print Award, also known as the Benny Award, in the "School Yearbook" category. The Benny Award, organized by the Printing Industries of America, Inc, is the largest and most prestigious competition in the printing industry worldwide.
The Premier Print Awards originated in the US in 1950 as the Graphics Arts Awards Competition. This initially modest endeavour has grown into the largest and most prestigious competition in the printing industry. It has gone through many changes throughout the years, but one element remains consistent - the Premier Print Awards honour the best of the best through a rigorous judging process that recognizes excellence in design and quality printing.
The Benny has become a coveted "trophy" within the graphic arts industry. This year, more than 5,000 entries were submitted from hundreds of companies throughout the world, with 86 entries winning Benny Awards.
