The Phoenix Challenge Foundation has announced the only annual college flexo competition – the Phoenix Challenge College Competition. A great event that continues to build and breed talent and interest in package and label printing industries. This year’s program will be held May 4, 2019 in Baton Rouge, LA; leading into the FFTA Annual Forum held May 5-8 in New Orleans.

The popular competition brings 50-60 students from colleges across North America and continues to drive the mission of the Phoenix Challenge Foundation: to provide access, support, competition and scholarship for students who are pursuing education and careers in flexography and graphic arts.

Cole Industries, Salem One, MacDermid Graphics Solutions, Quantum Ink Co., Tesa Tape, Anderson & Vreeland, Mark Andy, Inc., We Are Alexander and more.
