The Sign Awards is to be expanded to include a number of wrap focussed categories for the 2024 competition, and the event will become the Sign and Wrap Awards.
The awards founder, Dan Tyler of Vism, said: “We’ve been absolutely blown away by the response from the industry to our inaugural event. We added a printed vehicle wrap to sister event the UK Graphic Awards last year, collaborating with the guys at Amari ADAPT to do so. It proved incredibly popular. Having looked at the make-up of the entrants at both events, we’ve decided it makes sense to bring the wrap community together to celebrate their achievements with the signmakers, since there’s lot of crossover there, and we can’t wait to see them at the 2024 Sign and Wrap Awards”
The 2023 contest saw over 100 submissions to 11 categories with the winners revealed on March 22 at Birmingham Town Hall. The next iteration will include five new categories, covering individual printed vehicle wraps of both traditional vehicles and those more out of the ordinary, fleet work, full colour changes and architectural film projects. The event will return to Birmingham for its 2024 edition, with a date to be announced later this year.
