Record entries mark SA PICA. - 27/10/2009
A record number of entries and a crowd of 380 people marked the South Australia and Northern Territory Region Printing Industries Craftsmanship Awards (PICA).
The presentation was held at the Adelaide Convention Centre on 23 October 2009 and featured the presentation of 33 Gold, 35 Silver and 31 Bronze PICA awards.
Chairman of the SA/NT PICA Committee, Peter Lane OAM, said the level of printing excellence again impressed the independent judging panel in their challenging task of differentiating between entries in the 36 categories.
"In some categories multiple medals were awarded because of the exceptional standard. The judges were particularly impressed with examples of excellent work in the areas of embellishment, screen printing, book printing and the production of annual reports," he said.
"This year the Judges Awards for the best overall South Australia and Northern Territory productions were replaced with Excellence in Craft Awards, which is another step towards providing consistency between the various industry award events across the country.
"The FujiFilm and Fuji Xerox Excellence in Digital Craft Award was won by Digital Print Australia. The Heidelberg Excellence in Craft Award was awarded to Newstyle Printing.
"We were pleased to include this year for the first time two awards sponsored by the Government of South Australia; for Improved Safety and Improved Resource Use. Well done to the two inaugural winners; Alcan Packaging Capsules and Collotype Labels."
Mr Lane said the judges were particularly impressed with examples of excellent work in the areas of embellishment, screen printing, book printing and the production of annual reports.
