ACT Page Awards keep turning out big winners

Canberra and politics might go hand in hand, but the recent ACT Page Awards proved that the capital territory also excels in printing.

"The awards went off with a bang," said Kieran May, chair of the Page Awards committee.

Judging was as difficult as ever, and May conceded that the difference between a winning and losing entry was only slight. "With the technology available in Canberra printing industry and high quality of the graph design community there's not much difference in capabilities of companies," he said. "It comes down to a combination of factors with an eye-catching design that's been printed well."

ACT chief minister, Jon Stanhope also made an appearance on the night. "He indicated that there would be continued support for the sector," May said. "The awards have a long future ahead of them."
