ASGA President, Mick Harrold, says those interested in entering should identify their best projects from this period, then read the Entry Criteria carefully and make sure they answer all the entry requirements, to give themselves the best chance of winning.
“Make sure you select the most suitable category for the projects you are entering, and that you collect and supply all the required information, technical specs and photographs, so that the Judges can fully appreciate your achievements,” he recommends.
“Entering the Awards is an opportunity to benchmark your best work against the industry’s premier sign and graphics businesses, to recognise the achievements of your team, and to increase your profile with customers and the wider industry.
“Internally, it can also provide a great platform for reviewing and evaluating your business standards, goals and achievements, and for setting team goals and performance standards.”
The Gala Awards Presentation Dinner, which will be held at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, on Thursday 3 September during the Visual Impact Expo, is a highlight of the sign industry calendar, he adds.
“The Awards are a fantastic night of celebration, which showcases the variety and quality of work our industry can produce, and gives businesses a great opportunity to entertain clients, reward their teams and connect with industry peers. It’s a night not to be missed.”
