With a special category for wide format printers (Category 29), our NSW readers are encouraged to particpate in the Printing Industries Craftmanship Awards
NSW printers have less than two weeks to submit their entries into the WorkCover NSW Printing Industries Craftsmanship Awards (PICA).
To help with award preparation, a website containing full entry information was launched this week.
Printing Industries CEO Philip Andersen said www.printnswawards.com.au contained entry forms and a full explanation of all categories covering both print excellence and business management.
“I encourage everyone to carefully check the full range of categories which have been slightly amended this year to reflect the national integration of state PICAs with the National Print Awards,” he said.
“We have also streamlined our entry forms based on industry feedback to make them easier to follow and complete.
“It is very important that print award entrants complete all the relevant sections to correctly identify not just the category entered, but also the technical specifications including print, design, prepress, finishing and stock details.
“Regardless of whether all the processes have been completed by inhouse or by another company, this information should be noted.”
Mr Andersen said the Business Excellence categories should also be seriously considered by printing companies.
“These awards cover business innovation, education and training, the environment and Occupational Health and Safety. They are equally as important as the print awards and carry considerable prestige and commercial benefit for companies that can show excellence in any of these areas.
“They are a point of difference at a time when differentiation increasingly plays an important role in helping many clients decide which organisation have the best credentials to undertake their work,” he said.
NSW printers have until 10 September to submit their entries to Printing Industries' Auburn office.
