School show-down at Pride In Print Awards

Rivals from high schools in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, are fighting it out in this year’s Pride In Print Awards.

The school magazines of Taradale High School and Napier Boys’ High School, (The Brooch and Scindian, respectively), which were both printed by APN Print Central in Waipukurau, will go head-to-head in the category for sheetfed printing of four or more colours, bound by any method, 16 pages or more.

Sue Archibald, awards manager, believes that it is refreshing when small, local magazines get involved and feature alongside of work produced for multinational companies.

“Part of the joy of the Pride In Print Awards is that they embrace the small publications from the local communities as well as the major glossy magazines prepared by huge companies,” she said.

“To see two magazines appear from neighbouring Hawkes Bay schools is really what Pride In Print is all about, seeing local printers take a pride in the quality of the work done for their local communities.”
