Rising Stars
The Rising Star Awards are an opportunity to recognise and to celebrate newcomers and emerging talent in the industry.
Bruce Craig, editor, New Zealand Printer magazine, says, “One of the industry’s great strengths is the new ideas and initiatives that come through each year.”
He says that feedback from industry members has driven this initiative. He adds, “Over the past three years, we have hosted the New Zealand Printer Power 50 Awards and last year, introduced the Emerging 20 Awards. We thank our Anchor Sponsor, Ricoh New Zealand for steadfastly supporting these events.
“After much consultation with people across the industry, it became clear that we needed a change to better reflect and honour the industry and the people who work in it.
“Virtual events have become the norm, but these awards will feature as one of the few physical industry events that takes place this year.”
