Applications are now open for the 2026 Kathy Woodward Award for Learning, which supports individuals working in the print, packaging and graphic design industries to further their careers through learning and professional development.

Launched in 2015 in memory of former BPIF CEO Kathy Woodward, who sadly passed away in 2014, the award recognises her long standing commitment to education, skills development and supporting the young generation of professionals.

Sponsored by Webmart, the award provides £1000 to help fund professional development opportunities for individuals looking to expand their skills and progress within the sector.
