Who says there’s no money in printing? Young Samuel Moss, from NSW firm SBM pocketed a cool $15K to further his education in the industry’s richest prize.
Moss was chosen from a field of nine state winners and will use the Scholarship to travel to IPEX next year and also to the US to meet with companies such as Adobe.
Karen Goldsmith, Executive Director, GAMAA attended the awards which as part of the NSW PICAS, were held at the Sofitel Wentworth. She said that this year the calibre of candidates was, “excellent so it made our task even more difficult to select a winner. We were looking for commitment to the industry and passion for the craft and Samuel certainly demonstrated both of these attributes.
“Samuel had a great written proposal with very clear objectives on how he intended to use the scholarship fund. The depth of the research Samuel did for his proposal, combined with an obvious drive to further his skills and knowledge were impressive and on behalf of the GAMAA members I extend our congratulations.”
The prestigious scholarship is awarded once every two years and engages a wide range of apprentices and trainees from across the industry.
