With the first day of the 2013 SGIA Expo (October 23-25) in full swing, we're proud to announce the winners of this year's acclaimed Golden Image competition. This annual competition celebrates industry-leading excellence and covers almost every item, no matter how complex, created by specialty imaging. Hundreds of entries were evaluated by an elite team of imaging professionals, who awarded gold, silver and bronze ribbons to the best prints.

Each submission may earn one of four awards:

• Award of Excellence (Gold) recognizing the highest achievement possible in a given category
• Award of Distinction (Silver) awarded for exemplary quality
• Award of Merit (Bronze) for outstanding performance
• Certificate of Honorable Mention for commendable performance

All entries are displayed in the Golden Image Gallery on the Expo floor in Orlando, where they will remain for the duration of the show. SGIA's highest Golden Image Award honors, including Best of Show (digital, garment and graphic screen printing categories), Best in Creativity (digital only) and People's Choice will be determined on Friday, October 25.
