Simon Lane, national manager, graphic communications at Fuji Xerox Australia, and John Wanless, chairman of the 29th National Print Awards, made the announcement, saying the sponsorship was a welcome development for both organisations.

Lane says, “We’re incredibly excited to be a Major Sponsor of this year’s National Print Awards.

“The Awards are a fantastic celebration of the achievements of the print and graphic communication industry and we’re looking forward to awarding the inaugural Fuji Xerox Australia prize for most effective use of printing technologies.”

Wanless responded saying the National Print Awards was delighted to welcome Fuji Xerox Australia as a major sponsor. He says, “Fuji Xerox Australia has been a long-time supporter of the Awards as a Patron for several years now, and this new step in their support mirrors their commitment to excellence and their recognition of the importance of the Awards to the industry.”

The 29th National Print Awards will culminate on April 20 with a presentation dinner at Melbourne’s Crown Casino.

As well as the presentation of the ‘best of the best’ awards in 33 categories the night will feature the presentation of the three major sponsor awards.

This year, the new Fuji Xerox Australia Award for the Most Effective Use of Printing Technologies will join the Heidelberg Award for Excellence in Craft, the Currie Group Award for the Most Creative use of Imaging in Print as arguably the most sought-after accolades in the industry.
