Canberra printers turn a new page at ACT print awards

Page Awards celebrate the year’s best in Canberra printing and graphic arts production.

Held on Friday 20 November at Hotel Realm in Barton, ACT, the night drew a strong crowd. According to Printing Industries general manager Australian Capital Territory, Barry Neame, spirits were high and the mood was positive. “It was another successful evening that saw over 200 printers and graphic designers celebrate the achievements of the industry,” he said.

The level of entries was consistently strong. “Judges noted that the quality of entries this year was higher than last year and there were a lot more,” Neame said.

To everyone who won, Print21 says well done. For those who didn’t, all the best next year.
