Organised by the All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP) in association with Offset Printers Association (OPA), the event is touted to be the biggest talent hunt in the printing industry.

"All the printing institutes, universities or colleges in India can nominate up to two students to participate in this mega event. We will reimburse their travel up and down (sleeper class train fare) and also take care of their food and accommodation (MIT hostel) and local hospitality during the event," said Kamal Chopra, chairman of the event.

"We will conduct an eligibility written test to select the top 10 students who will then participate in the final round," he added.

The winner of the Olympiad will receive a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh along with a certificate and memento. The event has no registration fees.

Students can get in touch with Amrutharaj H Krishnan, head of the department, Media Technology at MIT for additional information about the rules and regulations.
