Zoo Valdes is pleased to announce it has been named a finalist in the first annual Encore™ Awards, presented by Consolidated Graphics, Inc. The Encore Awards were created to recognize creative and effective print and marketing solutions in the print industry.

Zoo Valdes was recognized as a finalist in the Digital category for the Unwantables Children’s Book project.

An independent panel of six judges met on February 17, in Dallas, TX, to review and discuss the merits of each entry, and finalists were chosen from more than 500 submissions. Finalists’ entries successfully incorporated a wide variety of technology, equipment and software from across Consolidated Graphics to meet the objectives of the showcased entry.

The Encore Awards will be presented at Consolidated Graphics’ 2011 emerge™ conference, which will take place May 17-20 in Dallas, TX. The entries will be on display throughout the conference where attendees can view them and cast votes for the People’s Encore Award.
