Avery Dennison and Orafol Australia have confirmed Gold Sponsorships for the 2026 Australian Sign and Graphics Association (ASGA) National Sign and Graphics Awards, continuing their longstanding support for the industry event.
Hosted by ASGA, the National Sign and Graphics Awards is the premier event on the sign and graphics calendar, acting not only as a recognition of achievement, but also a showcase of the best work the industry has produced over the past two years.
Mick Harrold, president of ASGA, thanked the companies, saying these initial sponsorships were indicative of the commitment of suppliers to supporting the sector.
“Avery Dennison and Orafol have been strong supporters of our Awards in the past, and it’s great to have them back on board as the very first confirmed sponsors for our 10th biennial Awards,” he said.
“Events like this simply could not happen without the backing of leading industry suppliers, and we are grateful and excited to have their support for this milestone event.”
Entries for the Awards will open on Monday 9 February, with the Association putting out a call just last week to industry businesses to start preparing their entries ahead of the official competition launch.
Harrold said while the 2026 Organising Committee has yet to formally confirm the 2026 categories, there will definitely be “something for everyone”.
“Whatever part of our sector you operate in – whether it’s traditional brushwork and airbrushing, pylon and sky signs, retail fit out or wayfaring signage, sculptural and fabricated projects, routing and engraving, illuminated and neon signs, or digital LED and LCD screens, there will be a category that suits you,” he said.
The winners of this year’s competition will be recognised at the ASGA 2026 National Sign and Graphics Awards Gala Presentation Dinner, which will be held on Thursday 3 September in Hall 2A at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park.
“This event will be the crowning highlight of a week where the focus of the industry will be on Sydney, with the Visual Impact Conference and Expo running from 2-4 September at the Showground,” explained Harrold.
“In the mornings during the show, this venue will be home to the Conference, but on Thursday evening it will be transformed into a sparkling ballroom for the gala awards ceremony, providing the perfect venue for us to celebrate excellence over a gourmet three-course dinner, music and entertainment.
“This really is the industry’s ‘Night of Nights’, so I’d urge everyone to mark the date in your diary now and watch out for tickets, which will be on sale from June 2026.”
