FESPA is now accepting nominations of print companies for the 2013 edition of its Hall of Fame initiative, which honours 'print heroes' around the world. The awards were launched at FESPA Digital 2012.

Printers, manufacturers, suppliers, print buyers and end users can submit nominations until January 21st 2013 and vote for their favourites until May 31st 2013. The top five printers in each country and the overall Global Printer of the Year will be announced at FESPA 2013 in London the following month.

"The initial Hall of Fame at FESPA Digital 2012 was extremely well received and we're thrilled to continue to celebrate the amazing and inspiring work of printers around the world," says FESPA managing director Neil Felton. "We want to encourage the print community to nominate colleagues and industry peers they admire, to help celebrate the exceptional work that they do every day."

PSPs who gain several votes will be invited to join the exclusive FESPA Hall of Fame group, through which they can network and work with other 'innovative entrepreneurs' and attend conferences and summits at a discounted price.
