FujiFilm Business Innovation Australia seeks entries for global Innovation Print Awards

25 March 2026

With the word ‘innovation’ locked into its own brand, FujiFilm Business Innovation Australia is now calling for local companies to enter the global FujiFilm Innovation Print Awards (IPA) 2026, which are targeted at uncovering Excellence in Print Technology and Creativity.

The IPA have been held annually since 2008 and recognise outstanding digital print works produced by users of Fujifilm Group’s printing equipment worldwide. The program evaluates printed applications created using the company’s production toner and inkjet printers. For the 2025 IPA, there were just short of 300 submissions, coming from 15 countries and regions, showcasing exceptional works distinguished by creativity, design excellence, and technological innovation, and highlighting the diverse capabilities of digital print on a global stage.

Yoshitaka Nakamura, Senior General Manager, Head of Oceania, Graphic Communications, Fujifilm Business Innovation Australia says: “The continued success of the Innovation Print Awards reflects the strength and evolution of the print industry. IPA doesn’t just recognise great work; it challenges the industry to keep pushing boundaries, and that’s something we’re proud to be part of. It’s this spirit of innovation that will continue to shape the future of our industry.”

For users of Fujifilm Group’s printing equipment, the IPA serves as a platform to showcase printed works that fully leverage their printing technologies and capabilities, helping them gain wider recognition and create new business opportunities.

Submitted works are exhibited at FujiFilm Business Innovation showrooms and at various events across different countries and regions, where visitors can directly experience the quality of the printed pieces. Award‑winning works gain further exposure through inclusion in the IPA Winners Booklet published by the company, features on the official website and social media channels, as well as coverage in external print and packaging industry media.

In addition, the award ceremony held for the winners presents an opportunity to honour the designers, creators and production teams behind the winning works.

IPA 2026 will be conducted through two parallel programs: IPA Global (open to submissions from around the world) and IPA APJ (only accepting entries from the Asia-Pacific region).
