It's a golden opportunity for you to shine and show everyone what you can do.

For the 2010 awards, we have introduced a new category to reflect the latest decoration techniques and trends. The Best Combined or Other Decoration Award gives you the chance to show off a combination of designs using, for example, rhinestone application, sublimation, embroidery or transfer printing.

The full list of categories is as follows:

• Best special effect screen print
• Best screen print on a light garment
• Best screen print on a dark garment
• Best direct to garment inkjet print
• Best dye sublimation print
• Best transfer print
• Best embroidery
• Best combined or other decoration

All entries must include details about the techniques that were used in production. For more information about what to include in this information, please refer to the rules on this page.

The identity of each entrant will only be known to the entrants themselves and to the organizer, until after the judging process. Entries with the company name or contact details on the garment will be disqualified.

This year, for the first time, we will be presenting winners with their awards at the Printwear & Promotion exhibition. Presentations will take place on Tuesday, March 2. Winners will be notified by Friday, February 12.

Awards will be posted to those who cannot attend.

Visitors to Printwear & Promotion 2010 will be able to see the winning entries - and runners up - in a special display on our stand.

Please note that entries cannot be returned unless postage and packing costs are prepaid and a request is made at the time of entry.

The final date for entries to arrive is January 15, 2010. Entries received after this date will not be accepted.

So what are you waiting for? We look forward to receiving a bumper crop of entries!
