Effie brings hair raising experience to Printovation Awards

Greece’s big hair gal, Effie, to star at next week’s Printovation Awards.

The Greek goddess, (pictured) played by Mary Coustas, has not been seen regularly on the TV since 2003’s Greeks on the Roof series, but will make a special appearance at the new Printovation Awards at Darling Harbour.

Organiser, Garry Knespal described her as a good fit for the event. “We think she fitted perfectly with the flavour of the evening,” he said.

This is the first year of the Printovation Awards, but Knespal was encouraged by the response. “We had a wide selection of entries and are happy with the outcome. We had a great response and the content was good,” he said.

The judges were also impressed by the work that was entered. “They discussed for some time what they were looking for: they were looking for things they hadn’t seen or that pushed things a lot,” Knespal added.

The Printovation Awards take place on Monday 20 September from 6 to 8pm at Harbours Edge, Darling Harbour. Tickets can be purchased by contacting GASAA on 02 9386 1595 or events@gasaa.asn.au, or go online to www.gasaa.asn.au/printovation to book.
