New Zealand's premier print awards Pride in Print are open for entries, for work produced in 2018. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner at TSB Arena on May 3 next year.
Entries are welcome from any person or company associated with the production or purchase of print. Entries must have been printed in New Zealand between 1 January to 31 December this year, and can be from any production process.
An official entry form must be fully completed for each entry submitted. An entry fee is payable per entry. For entries received after 31 January a late fee will apply.
There is no limit to the number of entries submitted. Entries can be placed in more than one category, one copy of each entry and a completed entry form must be submitted for each category entered.
Judging is based on the technical excellence in all facets of the production process, and allows for specialists to make a judgement based on the potential and the limits of that process or processes, the materials and the equipment used. Elements of typography and good design must inevitably be part of this judgement, as will the effective and innovative use of materials.
Each category has different requirements, please refer to www.prideinprintawards.co.nz for Judging Information to Assist Entrants.
