The 2024 PRINT Awards Entry Period Ends Monday, March 11
For decades upon decades—84 years, in fact—PRINT has been covering the world of design and creativity with equal parts passion and obsession. Before becoming one of PRINT’s owners and Editorial Director, I was a reader. I vividly recall coming across a massive issue in the 1980s: The PRINT Regional Design Annual, featuring the winners of PRINT’s first-ever graphic design competition.
It was a revelation of brilliant work, and the hundreds of projects featured inside were utterly inspiring as they showcased the true possibilities of innovation and the true power of design. Projects by famous designers coexisted alongside work by emerging creatives; it didn’t matter who you were because the best work won the day.
Over the years, I’m delighted to say that nothing has really changed—except now, thanks to the internet, anyone around the globe can see the winners of our awards for free, anytime they want, no subscription required, on printmag.com. Annual PRINT Awards winners brilliantly embody the creative heights that PRINT has long championed while building upon and advancing contemporary design in fresh, stimulating ways.

To state the obvious, any awards program is highly subjective. So, we bring in a large jury with varied backgrounds and expertise in everything from identities to type design to data visualization and all subjects beyond. This year, we also asked leaders to participate in our newest categories, including Brand Collaborations – Diego Guevara, Global Design Director of Nike; Artist, Author, and Designer Timothy Goodman; and Ali Slayton, Head of Design, LEGO Agency Americas. And, for our Packaging Category, we are honored to welcome Mike Bainbridge, EVP Strategy, Sterling Brands; Amy Brusselback, Principal, Design B&B; and Alex Kalman, Founder, What Studio? and Mmuseumm.
This Monday (March 11), our 2024 PRINT Awards entry period will come to an end, marking another year of celebrating extraordinary design. I hope you’ve had a chance to enter this year. If not, there are still a few days left to share your work with our esteemed jury and, hopefully, with your peers, colleagues, clients, and the vast design community around the world.
Long live design!
