Printing Industries has announced that Media Super will become a major supporter of the National Print Awards, taking naming rights for the annual competition and presenting two major awards each year.

Bill Healey 2013“We are delighted to announce this new partnership agreement, which will see Media Super significantly increase its financial support for the Awards, in addition to the support it already generously provides for State-based awards and a number of other key industry initiatives,” Printing Industries’ CEO Bill Healey said.

“As well as a name change to the Media Super National Print Awards, the new partnership will see the continuation of the Media Super Young Executive of the Year Award, which recognises the achievements and leadership qualities of young people in the industry, and the reintroduction of the Media Super Industry Legend Award, which will pay tribute to someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the industry over his or her career.”

These awards will be judged by a specially appointed panel of industry leaders in consultation with Media Super representatives. They will be in addition to the existing Gold Sponsor Awards by Heidelberg Australia, Currie Group and Fuji-Xerox Australia.

Media Super CEO Graeme Russell said that the new arrangement is just one more indication of the importance the industry’s own super fund places on supporting its industry.

“Our commitment to the print and graphic communications sector is well known and we are always looking for ways in which we can provide support for important industry initiatives,” he said.

“The National Print Awards have made an enormous contribution to the industry over more than 30 years. They encourage and recognise the achievement of excellence in print in this country – and of course, also provide a wonderful opportunity each year for our industry to come together and celebrate its achievements.

“We are delighted to put our name and our support behind this terrific event. We will continue to work closely with Printing Industries and the wider industry to ensure that an NPA gold continues to provide the ultimate recognition for print service providers in Australia and the Media Super National Print Awards remains the pre-eminent event on the Australian graphic arts calendar.”
