Applications have opened for the 2026 Kathy Woodward Award for Learning, which supports professional development within the print, packaging and graphic design industries.
The award was launched in 2015 in memory of former BPIF CEO Kathy Woodward, who died in 2014. It recognises her commitment to education, skills development and supporting young professionals entering the industry.
Sponsored by Webmart, the award provides £1000 to help fund learning and development opportunities for individuals looking to expand their skills and progress their careers.
Applicants are asked to submit a 500-word proposal explaining why they should receive the award and how they would use the funding to support their professional development in the print, packaging or graphic design sectors.
The closing date for applications is Friday 19 June 2026.
The winner will be presented with the award at the BPIF Print Reception at the House of Lords on Tuesday 14 July.
