Time running out to book for New South Wales PICAs

Ticket bookings for the NSW leg of the Printing Industries Craftsmanship Awards (PICA) will close soon as last minute fine tuning for the Friday 5 November presentation night dinner is completed.

This follows completion of the Victorian PICA on 16 October and the South Australian PICA 8 on October.

Printing Industries national communication and technical services manager, Joe Kowalewski, said tickets would still be available for a few days more for the NSW event.

“This year NSW will also feature some great enhancements including the introduction of our new medals, a different format for the exhibition of entries and some riveting neck stretching entertainment,” he said.

“This is in addition to our wise-cracking MC Paul McDermott who hosts Good News Week for Channel 10 and The Rat Pack is Back cabaret. For the first time NSW will produce an award winner’s catalogue which will be distributed on the night.

“We will also celebrate 425 years of membership with 17 Printing Industries member companies receiving 25 Year Membership Recognition plaques. Another 22 companies celebrate 10 years of membership for a combined 645 years membership between them all.”

NSW bookings can be made by contacting Irene Manacos at irene@printnet.com.au or on 0430 771 553.

The next PICA events after NSW are the ACT PAGE Awards on Friday 19 November followed by the Queensland PICA on Saturday 27 November.
