All the winners of the 2019 APé Awards at C!Print Madrid
2019Visual CommunicationDigital printing
The ceremony brought together the best creators of printing applications
On Wednesday afternoon, September 25th, at C!Print Madrid , the 3rd annual APé Awards, presented by the specialized magazine AP Digitales, took place. Recognizing the best print projects in Spain, it was undoubtedly a moment of celebration of creativity in the world of visual communication.
The jury, composed of Juan Carlos Fuentes (LA FEDE), Roberto Vidal (IED VISUAL COMMUNICATION MADRID), Judith Francisco (CLUB DE CREATIVOS), and José Angel Abáncens (Asociación Empresarial de Publicidad), awarded the most original works and paved the way for 11 agencies to continue working to achieve their very best in the visual communication sector in Spain. In Judith Francisco's words:
»The quality of the finalist works judged was very high. It's surprising how many printing solutions exist to serve good creativity . I've chosen 10 finalists in which printing played a fundamental role in achieving an impressive result— a result that would never have been achieved without the collaboration of the printers, or that the project simply wouldn't have been possible .»
