Since 1966, the PICA Awards have been the ultimate showcase of excellence in printing, honoring the industry’s “Best of the Best” year after year. What began with 27 trailblazing companies across 22 categories has grown into a celebrated tradition, spanning everything from Announcements and Invitations to Packaging, Grand Format, Catalogs, Stationery, and so much more. This is more than a competition—it’s a challenge that inspires print shops of all sizes to push creative and technological boundaries.

This year, the PICA Awards sparkled even brighter as we celebrated an extraordinary milestone—60 dazzling years of print excellence. More than 200 industry professionals came together April 18, 2026, at the Hilton Charlotte University Place for the Diamond Anniversary PICA Awards Banquet—an unforgettable evening honoring six decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and print perfection.
