Fespa is calling for wrap installers to enter the final regional leg of the World Wrap Masters competition, which takes place at the new WrapFest event on 26 and 27 April at Silverstone. The deadline for entries is 21 April.
Duncan MacOwan, head of marketing and events, Fespa, said: “We feel hugely privileged to have a previous champion on our judging panel for the final regional leg of the World Wrap Masters competition. Ivan Tenchev is a great example of how taking part in – and ultimately winning – this competition can be completely life-changing both personally and professionally. So, for anyone who is considering entering that hasn’t done so already, I would urge you to register – places are being filled every day and we only have capacity for 24 participants.”
At the time of writing, 12 contestants had been confirmed. Entry to the competition costs £160, which also covers access to the WrapFest 2023 event.
The competition, sponsored by Hexis and HP, invites vehicle wrappers to participate in a series of wrapping competitions, with the winner earning their place alongside the world’s most skilled wrappers at the World Wrap Masters final at Fespa Global in Munich in May.
Participants are tasked with making it through several rounds where their install capabilities will be pushed to the limits and carefully inspected by the judging panel, which features some of the most recognised and well-respected international wrapping experts and trainers, including Justin Pate, Kiss Lajos, and Ole Solskin.
For the first time, the panel also features two-time World Wrap Masters winner, Bulgarian-born Tenchev, who said: “Winning the World Wrap Masters competition was a significant moment for me, with the reputation I earned being instrumental in growing my business into the successful enterprise it is today. I am delighted to return to the stage this time as a judge for the competition. Not only am I able to share my knowledge with the community, but I can also learn from the contestants who bring a huge amount of talent to each World Wrap Masters event.”
