National Print Awards & regular Pride in Print entries close on Friday

Entries in the premiere awards in Australia can be delivered to your local Printing Industries office in person up to 5pm this Friday 30 January 2015.

This is the first year printers can enter their work directly into the National Print awards. In the wake of changes to the State-based Pica system direct entry is required, even for those prizewinners in the regional competitions. Entries will be judged in February by the expert panel of judges headed by Luke Wooldridge.

Direct delivery to Printing Industries offices will avoid any complications or risks to larger and fragile entries from handling at mail centres. Special courier delivery of all entries will make sure they are received in Melbourne in time for the NPA judging.

It's a little different in New Zealand with Pride in Print. Regular entries close this Friday but late entries will be accepted up until the end of February. These will attract an increased fee.

The Pride in Print awards will be held on Friday 1May 1, 2015 at the TSB Arena in Wellington.

NPA winners will be announced at the Presentation Dinner in Sydney on Friday 15 May, 2015, an event which will provide a fitting close to the industry’s PrintEx 15 exhibition.

This time around the NPA is comprised of  17 separate categories and three major Sponsor Awards from Heidelberg, Currie Group and Fuji Xerox.

Download your entry form here or contact Print Awards here for more information.

NPA entries must have been produced between 1 September 2013 and 30 December 2014, and must be printed and finished in Australia.

Additional Award

The Fuji Xerox Effectiveness Award is awarded for the most effective use of digital printing technologies. The award is judged by representatives from Fuji Xerox Australia. Entry into this Award is via a separate entry form available HERE.
