The process

Five steps to submit

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Register in a couple of minutes and verify your email address. Your account is where you draft, save and submit entries — and where we notify you about your results.

  2. 2

    Choose your category and subcategory

    Pick the category that best fits your project, then the subcategory that describes it most precisely. You can submit up to 5 entries per category.

  3. 3

    Fill in the entry details

    Tell us about the job: the press it ran on, materials, finishing techniques, print run and completion date. You can save a draft and come back at any time.

  4. 4

    Upload your work

    Upload 3 to 8 photos of the finished piece (JPG or PNG, up to 10MB each) in one zipped folder, plus one video upload showing the piece in use or in detail.

  5. 5

    Write your entry brief

    In 200 to 1,200 words, cover the concept, the objective and the end use. Explain how HP digital print technology made the project possible — and what it delivered for your client.
