Élan Awards 2012

I am pleased to advise that Placard has won two Élan Awards for The Best Government Identification Card and People’s Choice and was also a Finalist in The Judge’s choice category at the global ICMA Élan Award ceremony held in the US 2012.

Continuing to win these global awards is a testament to the dedication, passion and contribution made by everyone at Placard and as team we have had a great week in not only successfully completing the largest card launch in the country but also winning these prestigious global awards.

Élan Award is described as ” In the global arena of world-class cards, the ICMA Élan Awards for Card Manufacturing Excellence are the pinnacle of design innovation and technical achievement. Past recipients have included leading card manufacturers from around the globe”

People’s choice award is described as ” Attendees at the EXPO select their favourite card from ALL cards and these cards are displayed face – up without identification of the entrant.

Judge’s choice award is described as ” The Élan Judges will select their favourite card from ALL of the entries received”

In addition to winning the specific Government and Identification category, it is very pleasing to note that we were voted as the winner by the majority of the attendees at the EXPO and also as one of the Judge’s the favourite cards, both of which covers all the cards.
