Awards’ Entries/Quality Continues Upswing
Entries to
the Pride In Print Awards have reached their highest level
in six years as confidence flows back into the New Zealand
print and packaging industries.
Commenting ahead of the Awards Evening at Wellington’s TSB Arena Wellington on Friday May 1, Pride In Print Awards manager Sue Archibald says it is clear the industry remains steadfastly behind the campaign.
“For over 20 years now the Pride In Print Awards have been the key to raising the bar in quality standards, of showcasing the best that the New Zealand print industry has to offer and in so doing, demonstrating world-class quality,” says Ms Archibald.
“This year we had a 20% increase in the number of entries and judges bore witness to a remarkable attention to detail, particularly in the flexographic, screen and newsprint categories.
“Some categories had fewer entries, others more, only reflecting the ongoing changes in our marketplace -- a trend which Pride In Print has captured through subtle tweaks to our sub-categories.
“This is heartening for our New Zealand print industry in general. We have fought through tough economic conditions and we are now emerging with justifiable pride in our print, at even higher quality levels than ever before.”
MCs for the Awards Evening have now been confirmed as Alison Mau and Jeremy Corbett.
During two decades with TVNZ, Ms Mau hosted such programmes as Newsnight, Breakfast, One News At Six, Fair Go and Seven Sharp. She now co-hosts a three-hour weekday RadioLIVE programme with Willie Jackson while also continuing to MC at a range of events.
A stand-up comedian, radio and television presenter and apparently computer programmer, Mr Corbett co-hosted MORE FM Auckland’s breakfast show for 18 years, previously hosted the Deal Or No Deal television programme, starred in The Radio sitcom and currently hosts the 7DAYS show.
Doors to the TSB Arena will open at 6.15pm with the presentations commencing at 6.30pm.
