Entries for the 2022 PICAs are now open

Entries are now open for the 2022 Printing Industry Creativity Awards (PICAs), hosted by the Print & Visual Communications Association (PVCA).

The State Awards will run across the country in March and April, and will be the precursor to the 39th National Print Awards, to be held during PacPrint at the end of June.

Industry businesses are being urged to select their best examples of ‘print perfection’ in the 32 Awards categories, which cover everything from conventional and digital print, to design and effectiveness. Nominations are also open for the recognition awards, which celebrate personal and business achievement.

Peter Harper, CEO of event organiser Visual Connections, said a judging panel is currently being assembled, with an open invitation for anyone interested in providing their expertise to the process to make contact.

“We have already made contact with experts across a variety of industry sectors, with the intention of assembling a panel of experienced experts who are qualified to judge the diverse array of high quality entries we know will soon be flowing in from all parts of Australia,” Harper said.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who may be able to assist, particularly those who may have recently retired from the industry or who have specialist expertise relating to a specific category, in order to maintain the freshness and impartiality of the Awards judging.”

As for print service providers, Harper said there’s no time to lose in identify potential entries, selecting flawless copies for judging, and completing the entry process.

“Entry forms are up on the website and I’d encourage anyone who believes they have produced award-worthy work this year to get prepared now and send those entries in,” he said, adding a reminder that entries which win gold at the State level will be automatically entered into the ‘best of the best’ National Print Awards competition for 2022.

Entry to the awards cost $80, with PVCA members able to claim their first entry free of charge and enjoy a member only price of $50 per entry.

Entries will close at COB on 25 March.
