HP ASGA Sign and Display Awards Night in Pictures

The winners of the HP 2022 National Sign & Graphics Awards ASGA were announced at the presentation gala dinner held at Crown Aviary, Crown Casino, Melbourne, on the 28th of June. Over three hundred (300) guests attended the dinner at the prestigious Crown Aviary. Australian stand-up comedian, actor, TV and radio presenter and ex-graphic designer Dave Thornton emceed the evening.

“It was great to see the industry come together again to celebrate and appreciate the diverse range of skills and talent that this industry offers,” said ASGA President Mick Harrold.

Commenting on the judging Harrold said, “The judges had a challenging task selecting the winners, with a record 476 entries received across 22 categories. As well as some familiar sign companies taking out Gold awards this year, such as Kingman, Cunneen Signs and Grafico Group, there were a number of companies who posted entries for the first time that also featured on the winners list - Zimmerman Industries, OMG!,  Signhub,  Neolite,  Specialbuild, Signcraft, Signageworld and Signage Fleet. While the winners are to be congratulated for their deserving wins, everyone that entered the Awards are worthy of their efforts. The last couple of years have not been easy, so to be able to produce such outstanding creative and innovating work, shows the resilience of the people that make up this industry.”

“It was great to see so many people participating in the People’s Choice Award voting process this year. With a total of 1856 likes across 20 categories that featured images as part of the Awards entry process, this activity has helped to spread the word about the creativity and ingenuity of sign businesses. Congratulations to Liberty Signs’ who won the Award for the third year running. Their entry, Donuts Anyone? from the Vehicle Wraps category won the People’s Choice Award”

“A big thank you to our Diamond Sponsor HP for their generous support of the Awards and all of the other sponsors that have contributed to the success of this Awards: Amari Visual Solutions, Avery Dennison, Epson, Fuji Film, Graphic Art Mart, Hexis, Orafol, Spandex, Starleaton, Visual Connections, Roland DG, Ball & Doggett, SMIB, Spicers, Durst, Ricky Richards, Stick on Signs, SAS Supplier Group and Trotec,” concluded Harrold.
