Entries to the 2015 National Print Awards are closing soon, all entries need to be delivered to any local PIAA office by January 30. The association will coordinate courier delivery of entries to Melbourne in time for judging, which organisers will begin shortly after the due date, so there will be no extensions. Entry forms are available online, here.

Susan Heaney, chairwoman of the NPA

NPA Chair Susan Heaney says entry numbers are picking up quickly as businesses get back to work after their Christmas break. She says, “Entries have been coming in steadily for some time now, but we are expecting that many people will have waited until close to the deadline to get their entries together. Now, there is really no time to lose.” Separate entries are now being accepted for the Fuji Xerox Effectiveness Award for the use of digital print in achieving the client’s outcomes. Entries are due by February 13, with forms available online, here. The NPA presentation dinner will take place on May 15 at Bicentennial Park in Sydney Olympic Park, coinciding with PrintEx15. Heaney says, “We expect this year’s dinner to be a celebration of the industry as we mark the conclusion of Sydney’s leading print and graphic communications exhibition, PrintEx 15. “Given the opportunity to see the latest systems, equipment and advances at the adjacent Sydney Showgrounds, there is every reason to be planning your trip to Sydney and we are expecting a fantastic turnout of print professionals from across Australia, New Zealand and the surrounding region to join us that week. “There will never be a better year to win a gold, silver or bronze National Print Awards medal.”
