Geoff Selig was the former executive chairman of IVE Group, and at the
2023 ProPrint Awards he was recognised with the peer-voted Industry
Achievement Award for service to the industry. He was the
third-generation from the Selig family in the IVE Group business and
was a pioneer and innovator of the industry for over 40 years. Geoff
tragically passed away earlier this year and this Scholarship is
dedicated to Geoff’s passion for encouraging emerging talent within
the industry, and his desire to see people grow and thrive as well as
the enjoyment he received from seeing people develop and succeed.

This Scholarship has been created to recognise one of the recipients
from the 2026 ProPrint Awards Emerging 50 and provides a financial
