It may be recalled that all the entries received for the FESPA Youth Competition were being automatically entered into the Academy of Screen printing Technology (ASPT) Student Competition which was judged and exhibited during the SGIA Convention and Exhibition, 24th 27th October 2007 in Orlando, Florida, USA.
The competition at FESPA Berlin'07 was open to schools, colleges or training centres where screenprinting is taught on a part-time or full-time basis and also to companies with apprentices training as individual students or in groups.
The SHEET SIZE was 500 x 700mm, with variations in the graphics and position of the "free element" within the sheet, also in the choice of the two additional colours and varnishes. DESIGN was supplied by FESPA.
The type of substrate by entries were paper, board, plastic, metal, textiles, ceramic etc. The type of inks used included: solvent, UV, water-based, matt, semi gloss or gloss (or a combination). |

In principle, the jury was the same as the FESPA Awards Jury which had been selected from different countries to judge the Youth Competition as well as the 2007 "FESPA Awards Competition". Judging criteria was based on: Quality of colours, setting-up and register, accuracy of "colour matches" in comparison with the artwork supplied for the "compulsory design", Width of "overlapping", edge definition, thickness of inks, Quality of the printed dots, Quality and fineness of the printed lettering, Similarity and consistency of the 10 samples submitted, Those points will count for 80% of the total Aesthetic quality of the "graphic composition" of the whole poster including the proposed "surface coating". |
