-
Highlight Innovation Relevancy
The InterTech(tm) Technology Awards focus on honoring those technologies considered to make a significant advancement in print and graphic arts. Companies should enter their most innovative offerings that are past beta testing, commercially available, and new to market in the past three years. -
Reference the Past
Since innovation is integral to success, it is highly recommended that entrants review recipients and candidates from prior years at www.printing.org/intertech. An entry that explains why an innovation stands apart from technology that might be considered similar is more likely to be honored with an InterTech Technology Award. -
Describe in Detail
Entries need to be written concisely and highlight the true details that make your technology a standout. Videos, promotional materials, imagery, and news articles about your technology can further support the judges' understanding of your technology's advancements and function. -
Kudos Are Key
The InterTech(tm) Technology Awards work to honor innovations making an industry impact, and there is no better way to understand that than positive accolades from a user benefitting from your technology in their daily operations. All entries should include testimonials letters that express the real-world benefits and application of your technology. -
Take Advantage of Time
