Brian Moore, New Zealand Printer Magazine publisher says, “We are proud to have the backing of these industry suppliers and we look forward to their involvement in the awards.”
“A number of suppliers are expected to sign up in support of the awards next week and I welcome enquiries from other potential sponsors. It’s not too late to get on board and apart from celebrating our industry and those who work in it, the awards are a very positive way to end an otherwise challenging year.”
Nominations
Those nominating will be asked to describe the recent achievements +of their nominee, both personal and professional; their contributions to the industry; innovations; application of the craft and overall leadership where applicable.
Individuals may nominate themselves or a peer, and nominations are welcome from suppliers.
Neither of the awards have a minimum or maximum number of finalists and winners.
New Zealand Printer will contact each nominee to discuss their nomination and entries will only proceed to the next round of judging if the nomination is accepted.
Once the nomination is accepted, the organisers will need a photograph (head shot) of the nominee for the nomination to be officially recognised. Winners will not be ranked and will be announced in alphabetical order.
On December 2, New Zealand Printer and PrintNZ will host an awards evening at Sorrento in the Park in Auckland to present the awards and to celebrate the winners with family and friends.
