The deadline for the Printing Industry Creativity Awards (PICAs) has been extended by one week to Friday 13th March because members of the Print and Visual Communications Association (PVCA) are reporting “operational impact” caused by the coronavirus.
“Due to the Wuhan virus and operational impact to a number of members, we have extended the entry deadline by one week,” said Andrew Macaulay, CEO PVCA. “We encourage industry members to take advantage of this extension.”
A new panel of international judges will award the best the industry has to offer in this year’s state Printing Industry Creativity Awards (PICAs) that lead into the National Print Awards to be held in July 2020.

PVCA has seen increased entries across all the revised categories.
Winning gold at a state level will see entrants compete in their category at the National Print Awards. Gold winners will be displayed in Parliament House at the third annual Print 2 Parliament!
