Phoenix Challenge Sets 2010 Agenda

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The Phoenix Challenge Foundation, the flexo industry’s educational foundation exclusively dedicated to promoting and attracting high school students to flexographic careers, announced the dates for the 2010 Phoenix Challenge Competition.

The 13th annual Phoenix Challenge Competition is a two-and-half-day event designed to heighten the awareness of and excitement for flexography among students and teachers across the educational system, both domestically and internationally. The annual contest consists of a variety of skills tests, including flexo print knowledge, prepress, platemaking, critical math skills, and hands-on printing techniques. Students compete in teams for the top seat in the Flexo Challenge, and can walk away with thousands of dollars in scholarship funds, as well as the prestigious “Harper Trophy Cup” to display permanently at their school. The competition continues to grow year after year, and has attracted students across North America.
