Sponsored by the Printing Industries of America’s Ben Franklin Honor Society

Deadline: The nomination deadline has been extended—nominations must be postmarked, faxed, or emailed by August 13, 2010.

Why Nominate a School Program?
Kagy Award recipients join sixteen years of notable academic programs such as those at Waukesha County Technical College, Brighton High School, and Frederick County Career and Technology Center. An imaged lithographic stone is presented to the school to recognize this achievement. In addition, the winning school can select up to $1,000 worth of textbooks published by Printing Industries Press.

This year’s Kagy Award will be presented to a program representative from the winning school at Printing Industries of America’s Fall Administrative Meetings, November 11–14, 2010, in San Francisco, CA. This forum hosts an impressive audience of industry leaders, including boards of directors and committee members from Printing Industries of America, its Ben Franklin Honor Society, and the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF).

Eligibility
Only graphic communications programs offered by middle schools, high schools, or junior/community colleges are considered for this award. Nominations are valid for three years, and previously recognized programs are not eligible.

There is no entry fee, but a nominated school must be staffed by at least one Printing Industries teacher member. To inquire if a school is staffed by a Printing Industries teacher member or to purchase a $49 annual teacher membership, call 800-910-4283
