FESPA has received fantastic Award entries from our valued print community. We speak to our esteemed judges, who have given us an insight into what they are looking for in your entries. In part 4, FESPA speaks to Graeme Richardson-Locke.
In our fourth part of our five-part series we speak to Graeme Richardson-Locke, another member of our respected judging panel. Graeme, FESPA's Technical Support Manager has worked in screen and digital printing for over 30 years and has managed his own print shops and businesses. Quality is inherent in his products as is why he will be requiring excellence in the Awards entries this year.
What made you want to be on the judging panel of the 2019 Awards?
What are you looking for in an entry?
What is your favourite category to judge?
Where do you see the future of print going?
What is the biggest challenge that you feel entrants have?
Every year we see both small and large printers receiving accolades but following the rules in detail matters, don’t skip on the detail. Also, if your project is on a massive scale that prevents the whole thing being submitted, supply physical samples of key elements along with photos and footage.”
Graeme will judge the Awards entries in February at FESPA’s Head Office. There’s still time to enter the 2019 FESPA Awards, with entries closing on the 25th January 2019. Remember – you don’t have to supply your physical sample until the 20th February 2019.
