Daniel Ko, Brand and Design director, Toyota Financial Services, Torrance, Calif., won this year’s competition for a dealer sales incentive promotion.

Vehicle sales consultants were encouraged to win adventure vacations to various exotic travel destinations. Ko had used YUPO Synthetic Paper on previous projects and specified it for its texture, strength and ability to accept intricate custom cuts. B&G House of Printing of Gardena, Calif., produced the winning project.

Third Place, (at left) Structural Graphics, for a lamp design with branded icons , paper airplanes and dotted lines. The design incorporated both 57 lb. text and 78 lb. text. The piece is made up of a wooden structure and base that holds the tension, and light source inside. (Isabel Uria, Alex Bates, designers)
