The 2026 ASGA National Sign & Graphics Awards are coming, and it's time to get creative! But here's the catch: you need to be ready to submit your best work soon. So, is your business up for the challenge?
The ASGA is finalizing the categories and perfecting the entry process, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants. And the best part? There's a category for everyone! ASGA President Mick Harrold emphasizes that whether you're in printing, signage, or graphics, there's a place for your company's unique talents.
But here's where it gets controversial: the eligibility period. Projects completed between July 25, 2024, and July 24, 2026, are eligible, but some might argue that this timeframe is too broad. What do you think? Is it fair to compare projects from two years ago with recent ones?
The competition opens on February 9th and closes on July 24th, giving you ample time to prepare. Mick Harrold encourages business owners to start by identifying their most impressive projects and gathering the necessary materials for submission. This includes photos, technical specifications, and any details that showcase the excellence of your work.
The ASGA National Sign & Graphics Awards isn't just about winning; it's about industry recognition and growth. By entering, you're not only benchmarking your work against the best but also increasing your brand visibility. It's an opportunity to celebrate your team's achievements and set new goals. And this is the part most people miss: the awards can be a catalyst for business improvement and team motivation!
The awards ceremony, the Gala Awards Dinner, will be a spectacular event held at the Sydney Showground on September 3rd. It's a chance to network and celebrate with industry peers from across the country.
