PRINT21 TO SPONSOR NPA PRINTER OF YEAR

Print21 magazine has been named as the Official Media Partner for the National Print Awards, and will sponsor a new major award, the Print21 Printer of the Year Award.

The Print21 Printer of the Year Award will be drawn from all the winners of the various categories, and awarded to the print business that the judges decide shows excellence in craft and service; innovation in marketing, employment and print engineering; and presents an inspiration to the industry.

VMA said the prestigious and sought-after Award is an opportunity to be recognised as the leading organisation in the industry, to be an inspiration to others, and will provide an unrivalled marketing tool to the winner.

Kellie Northwood, CEO of VMA said, “The VMA, and formerly the PVCA and PIAA, have a legacy relationship with Print21, as the partnered publication of the Association.

"With the relaunch of the National Print Awards discussions as to the role a media partner could play were welcomed, and we thank Print21 for its support in developing our media presence across the National Print Awards, including advertising, content and major Award support, but also to the post-award coverage of our winners and finalists. I cannot thank Lindy Hughson, Wayne Robinson and the Print21 team enough.”
 
Lindy Hughson, publisher of Print21, said, “Print21 and its publisher Yaffa Media are honoured to be able to present the Print21 Printer of the Year Award, which will highlight overall excellence in print.

“Everyone in the industry is delighted that the National Print Awards are returning, refreshed and re-energised. We are looking forward to a wonderful night on 22 May.”
