Announcing details and the finalists of UK Graphic Awards 2021

We’re thrilled to share the details of the inaugural UK Graphic Awards which will take place on 14th September 2021.

For the first time in 2 years, the wide-format print industry will meet in person to celebrate the industry’s great reunion & most exceptional visual projects in the UK, while spending a wonderful day together. 

‍

As co-organisers of this event, we are preparing the Oulton Hall venue, discussion topics and much more to make this day unforgettable.
‍
Here's what the founder at Vantage, Dan Tyler has to say: “The inaugural awards had to be postponed from 2020 due to COVID restrictions, so we were delighted to receive so many entries once we were able to get them back on track. It reflects well on the resilience of our industry and the leaders within it. I’m proud that as organisers of these awards and a supplier to the industry, here at Vantage we are able to play an active part in such a positive and independent celebration of what we all do best.”

During the daytime Thrive in Print conference, we will discuss Sustainability, Technology and Innovation in Print with a first-class line-up of speakers sharing their valuable experiences.
‍
These will be thought-provoking conversations and discussions aimed at helping owners and senior managers of wide-format print providers to improve their bottom-line profitability by exploiting increased business, technical and marketing opportunities. Let’s find out how we can become more successful and achieve more in the print business.

In the evening, we will celebrate the talent and hard work by awarding the best UK Graphic Awards applicants across 12 categories.‍‍
