Congratulations Mohawk Show Winners

Monday 20. August 2012 - "After seeing amazing entries from all over the world, what struck us most is that, contrary to some opinions, print is definitely not dead," says Jane Monast, Director of Communications for Mohawk.

The Mohawk Show honors the impact of the graphic design industry and the important role that design plays in our culture. It allows printers and designers a chance to catch the eye of their peers and potential clients by having their entries reviewed by an esteemed panel of jurors and viewers of the traveling exhibit.
The Mohawk Show 12 jury included: show chair Stanley Hainsworth, Tether, Seattle; Jorge Alderete, Illustrator, Mexico City; Michael Jager, JDK Design, Burlington, VT; and Susana Rodgriguez de Tembleque, of SY Partners, San Francisco.
After the judging, Stanley Hainsworth of Tether, Inc. said of this year’s winners: “We saw some very modest projects rise to the surface because the design, paper and execution elevated them to winner’s status in a very strong field of entries.”
