"The fact that the multi billion dollar graphics division of a Fortune 500 company bestowed on us four distinguished awards, including the overall grand prize of its competition, demonstrates firsthand that the creativity and expertise of the Art Department at SkinzWraps is unmatched," said Peter C. Salaverry, Chairman and CEO of SkinzWraps, Inc. "It is also important to note that our artwork alone did not carry the day, and that the choice of materials used (Avery 1005 EZ and Avery DOL 1000) played a vital role on how well the install teams completed their respective vehicle install (the critical last step in the vehicle wrap process)."
The Avery Graphics 2005 Choice Awards were determined by a panel of 4 judges -- 2 external and 2 internal using a blind judging method, so that the winners were chosen by quality of work and not by company. Entries were judged on originality, creativity, quality of graphics and novelty of design. The awards competition was open to printers, converters, sign shops, applicators, advertising agencies and end-users throughout the United States and Canada. All entries were created between January 1 and December 31, 2005.
