Judging

Help shape the awards committee

Print UV is building balanced panels across commercial print, packaging, labels, brands, OEMs, ink manufacturers and independent technical experts. Advisory partners are helping seed the committee — and we welcome volunteers who can evaluate entries fairly.

Judges do not score work from their own organization. If that sounds like the room you belong in, tell us who you are.

Takes about a minute. No commitment until we follow up.

Heritage

Rooted in Hans Ulland's legacy

Hans Ulland — Print UV Emeritus Founder.

The Ullee name began as a conference tribute to Hans Ulland — co-founder of Print UV, connector and tireless advocate for UV and LED UV printing. These formalized awards extend that heritage: one program for lasting individual impact, one for the finest printed work the industry produces.

“Our vision was to create more than just another conference, but a cutting edge information exchange for the UV print industry where attendees bring immeasurable value to each other.”

Hans Ulland, Print UV Emeritus Founder
