As usual, the judging of In-Print 2009 last month was a rigorous task. Still, despite earning crossed eyes from looking through loupes all day, the six judges managed to select 76 winners out of a sea of excellent entries. The judging of the only printing contest for in-plants took place again in the Salt Lake City offices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Printing Division. LDS staff members Karen Pixton and Cindy Astill spent months sorting and cataloging the submissions and were on hand to record the winners. A drop in entries this year to about 420 helped the judges finish their labors in record time. In the end, they awarded 34 Gold Awards, 27 Silver and 15 Bronze.

Some judges braved long drives through several inches of new snow to help pick the winners of this year’s In-Print contest on March 31. The judging took place in Salt Lake City, in the offices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Printing Division. LDS staff members Karen Pixton, Judy Alred and Emily Butler had graciously spent weeks sorting and cataloging the 567 entries. Fresh snow covered the ground on the morning of the judging, but the hardy judges (one of whom had a 90-mile drive) all made it. They were: • Ron Anderson, Weber State University • Larry Clements,
