The night's big winner was Manipal Press, who bagged two category awards in addition to securing the PrintWeek India Company of the Year 2009.

The evening was hosted by stand-up Vikram Sathaye and the chief guest was Wayne Manning, Publishing Director of Haymarket's global print and packaging group. The glittering ceremony was attended by more than 300 guests, who shared in the glory of the 21 worthy winners of PrintWeek India's prestigious 'Prisms'.

The awards were judged by an impressive jury of print customers and experts, put together by PrintWeek India on 31 July. Jim James, publisher, PrintWeek India and director, Haymarket Media India said, "This may sound like a cliché, but the standard of entries was outstanding. A point amply illustrated by the fact that many categories had to be rejudged to identify an outright winner."

He added, "The jury panel were highly experienced and discerning buyers of print, and they were used to seeing the best that the industry had to offer on a regular basis, but even they were impressed with the top quality of many of the entries."
