The combination of versioned digital and high-quality offset printing, the hallmark of issue No. 2, convinced the high-calibre jury. Commenting on the accolade Manuel Mataré, the Managing Director responsible for drupa at Messe Düsseldorf, said: “As organisers of drupa we are, of course, especially pleased with this award as the drupa report impressively reflects the dynamism of a whole industry while representing its innovative strength.” The prizes of the Forum Corporate Publishing are presented by a high-calibre expert jury every year. This year 633 entries submitted in 32 categories sparkled with even higher quality, innovative design and cross-media content. Acting as a patron for the contest is the German Economics Minister Philipp Rösler.

The drupa report distinguished itself in the category “Print & Innovation” from numerous competitors. The jury especially liked the current focal theme and its implementation: the integration of versioned digital printing and high-quality offset printing with a personalised cover and four pages inside. Each of the 41 editions featured another country-specific landmark on it’s cover allowing drupa to highlight its global reach while demonstrating how offset and digital printing can complement each other. The design of the quality magazine comes care of Holger Giffhorn/Giffhorn Design, Wuppertal. Altogether the print run was 13,000 copies with circulations between 50 and 3,000 copies per country version.

Boasting 633 submitted publications in 2011, the BCP is one of the most important Corporate Publishing Contests in Europe.

The highly prestigious trophies are presented in 28 categories and 4 Special Prize categories.
