Plans for the 27th National Print Awards Presentation Dinner are now well under way, with well known media personalities Gorgi Coghlan and Larry Emdur confirmed as hosts for the gala dinner, which will be held at Sydney’s Darling Harbour on Friday 26 March.

Coghlan, perhaps best known from Channel 9’s Today Show, has just signed to be a host on Channel Ten’s new morning program, The Circle, while Emdur, a popular game show host and longtime news reporter, is currently co-hosting The Morning Show on Channel 7 and Saturday Weekend Sunrise.

The two worked together for the first time at the 26th National Print Awards, where they discovered an easy rapport, characterised by rapid-fire banter and plenty of off-the-cuff humour.

“Anyone who was at last year’s Presentation Dinner in Melbourne will remember Gorgi and Larry’s professionalism, and the wonderful entertainment they provided,” says NPA Chairman John Wanless, “and we are delighted to have secured their exceptional talents again for this year’s Dinner.”

As usual, the Dinner and the associated Exhibition of Entries, which will be on display in the foyer of the Convention Centre, is expected to draw hundreds of visitors from across Australia.

“This year, with gold medals awarded to printers in every State, it’s a truly national celebration,” says Wanless, “and whether your company has entered or not, it’s the perfect opportunity to see some of the best work produced by the industry over the past 12 months.”

Invitations to the dinner are now circulating throughout the industry with ticket prices held once again to $160 a head.

Bookings can be made by filling out and posting the registration form attached to the invitation (see below), by going to the new National Print Awards website, launched this week or by contacting Lynne Trensky at Printing Industries on (03) 8541-7360.
