The Heritage Team Wins 24 Awards at the 2021 PICA Awards

The Printing Industry of the Carolinas (PICA) has announced that Heritage Signs & Displays of Charlotte is an award winner in the 2021 PICA Awards Competition. The announcement was made on April 2, 2022, during the 2021 PICA Awards Banquet held in Charlotte, North Carolina. The PICA Awards competition is celebrating its 56th season and continues to be one of the largest printing contests in the nation.

This year, the PICA Awards attracted more than 400 entries from 32 printing companies, along with more than 149 entries from 6 graphic arts high schools and 6 college graphic arts programs from across the Carolinas.

Heritage Signs & Displays won 18 Best of Category Awards, 4 Special Judges Awards, and 1 Award of Excellence. Only one “Best of” may be given in each category. One or more Special Judges Award or Award of Excellence may be given in each category, limited to no more than one third of total entries per category.

Heritage Signs & Displays also was recognized as the winner of the President’s Our Story Award, which recognizes their most challenging or favorite job of the year.

A panel of out-of-state judges with extensive experience in printing and print production was brought in to examine the work. Each entry was judged on its own merit in a category with similar printed pieces. The judging criteria included: registration, crossovers, clarity and neatness, sharpness of halftones and line drawings, richness and tonal qualities of color, paper and ink selection, ink coverage, the difficulty of printing, effective contrast or softness, finishing, bindery, and overall visual impact.
