The cream of the crop line up for number one in this year’s NSW LIA-Heidelberg Graduate of the Year awards. Competition was tough as the field was whittled down to the six finalists, with the winner to be announced at North Ryde RSL on May 14.
One of the highlights of the graphic arts calendar, the event recognises the industry’s most talented graduates. The awards dinner kicks off with a keynote from sustainability advocate Kellie Northwood (pictured), executive director of Two Sides Australia and the Australian Catalogue Association (ACA).
As well as celebrating the achievements of this year’s top graduates Northwood will share her rich print and paper experience, highlighting the positive credentials of the industry and the power of print with a strong sustainable future.
