New Zealand Printer magazine is running the awards in conjunction with PrintNZ. Ruth Cobb, chief executive at PrintNZ, says, “Once again, we are pleased to support the People In Print Awards and Rising Star Awards. “Recognising members of our industry that have contributed during the previous year gives us a welcome chance to appreciate those who go above and beyond.
“We look forward to celebrating their achievements as we take the time to acknowledge them in Auckland on March 9, 2023.”
Nominations have opened for the awards and should be directed to editor, Bruce Craig, on 021 631 559 or email bruce@newzealandprinter.co.nz
As in previous years, readers, be they printers or suppliers, can nominate someone in the industry for achieving excellence over the past 12 months (calendar 2022), in any number of areas. This might include their work in a particular field of the industry, such as prepress, offset, digital, finishing, packaging, signage, design and so on. It could also be about their service to and work for the community or perhaps their contribution to sustainability and the environment.
Bruce Craig, editor of New Zealand Printer magazine, says, “We welcome nominations from across the industry; from those in management and at the coalface.
“This is the time to celebrate the often unsung heroes of our industry, from the shop floor to the front office and beyond.”
