Here Are the Winners of the 2024 Women In Wide Format Awards

AS A FEMALE MEMBER of the printing community for nearly 40 years, I have seen the huge influence women have had across all printing platforms. And wide-format digital printing is no exception. Women have been a part of the community all along, whether being PSP’s and owning their own companies, C-level executives, women working in print shops whether in marketing, graphic design, installers, press operators…the list goes on.

The problem has been that women were rarely recognized for their outstanding efforts and contributions to their industry and communities until recently. Now, many industry corporations, organizations, and of course us here at Big Picture magazine are committed to making sure these incredible ladies get the recognition they so deserve.

With that, we present the winners of the 2024 Women in Wide Format Awards. Our ninth annual showcase profiles six outstanding women who have made a difference. This is not only in their own shops for technical and creative expertise, but also for local and national leadership, progressive responsibility, and community awareness. They all are making a major impact in advancing the wide-format digital print industry.
