Varispark recently won nine Best in Category awards for the use of variable data and direct mail print at the 2023 [Graphic Excellence Awards](https://piamidam.org/graphex/). Hosted by the [Print and Imaging Association MidAmerica](https://piamidam.org/), the Graphic Excellence Awards highlight technical achievements and innovation in print.
The Best in Category award recognizes print that was judged to be of superior quality or merit in a specific category. This marks the second consecutive year that Varispark was recognized with a Best in Category prize in the [Direct Mail](https://varispark.com/business-solutions/direct-mail-marketing/) and Small Format Booklet categories.
For example, our approach to digital, data-driven print has helped companies in industries like the [transportation technology space](https://varispark.com/case-studies/the-technology-is-in-the-mail/) execute personalized, highly-targeted direct mail campaigns that showcase the power of print in driving customer growth.
Along with the nine Best in Category wins, Varispark also took home a Best of Show award — which recognizes extraordinary entries in the competition — in the kitting category.
Varispark was honored in nine different categories that demonstrate the knowledge, experience, and versatility Varispark brings to a multitude of print types and applications. The complete list of Best in Category awards includes:
- **Booklets, Small Format – Digital 6 x 9 or smaller**
- **Broadsides, Digital**
- **Corporate Identity Campaign, Digital**
- **Direct Mail Campaign, Digital**
- **Presentation Kits**
- **Self-Mailer, Digital**
- **Single Sheet, Digital**
- **Variable Data**
- **Printer’s Self Promotion Digital & Offset**
- **Best of Show - Kitting**
But it’s not just Varispark’s unparalleled print marketing and communications samples that received recognition — Varispark’s own Gina Eselin won the 2023 Production Employee of the Year.
