AIPP President Mike Vincent said, “We are very happy to have received so many collections sent from the five continents—this shows how dynamic the industry remains and how our trophies are recognized as the most important ones. If you are part of the nominees, you must understand that this is already a very big success, as the number of participants is massive—so congratulations to you!”
