Five categories.
One grand winner.
One entry per category per organisation. All entries judged against the same transparent scoring framework — creativity, execution, and application relevance.
📄Commercial Print Brochures, catalogues, books, direct mail — commercial work that demonstrates what digital print can do at its best. |
🏷️Labels & Packaging Labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, corrugated — work that earns its place on shelf and commands attention in market. |
🌿Sustainability Print that demonstrates responsible production — substrate choices, waste reduction, eco-certifications, and measurable environmental impact. |
💡Innovation & Limited Editions Work that breaks the mould — new applications, experimental substrates, limited runs, or techniques that open new possibilities for the industry. |
🎁Dscoop Showcase No brief. No form. Just bring a print sample you're proud of to Vietnam Connect. Display it at the event — if the judges love it, you win a prize. The most open category of the night: walk in, show your work, and let it speak for itself. |
🏆Grand Winner — Highest Presstige Selected from all category winners by the expert panel. The highest honour of the evening — awarded to the single entry that best represents what HP industrial print can achieve across Asia Pacific. |
Transparent.
Rigorous. Fair.
All entries are scored by an independent expert panel using published criteria. No surprises. The scoring framework is available from day one so you can enter with confidence.
Core Judging Criteria
A selected panel of industry, media, brand, and design experts evaluates all submissions across six primary parameters.
- Overall Aesthetics — Visual excellence, print crispness, and clarity of layout
- Marketing Impact — Proven or projected effectiveness in driving consumer engagement
- Shelf Appeal — Eye-catching design that elevates brand presence in retail environments
- Design Suitability — How appropriately the structure and mechanics of the piece fit its intended purpose
- Uniqueness & Innovation — Creative risk-taking and execution that standard conventional presses cannot replicate
- Media & Substrate Use — Innovative choices in utilising textured, synthetic, metallic, or specialty media
