Keiichi Hasegawa, C17 Media and teammate Blake Madsen, Remix Wraps, were first-place winners in last month’s PDAA Pro Team Relay at PRINTING United 2019. The competition tested two-person teams in four graphics installation stations: a car’s quarter panel, rivet wall, a two-panel graphic on a rough texture surface, and two-color vinyl on acrylic. The first-place team shared $2,000 in prize money, while second place (Kristin Lanzarone, WrapStar Pro, and Krystal Miszewski, Candy Wraps Orlando) received Orafol 2-Go Combo Packs, and third place (Kim Magraw, Vivid Sign & Design, and Rob Ivers, Rob Ivers Inc.) won $250 gift certificates from Yellotools.

Members of the Academy of Screen and Digital Print Technologies (ASDPT) judged the annual Tom Frecska Student Printing Competition during PRINTING United. Best in Show awards went to students at Millersville University (Millersville, Penn.) and Genesee Career Institute (Flint, Mich.). All entries were displayed in the SGIA Awards Gallery at the show.
