New Zealand Sign Awards – all the winners.

Brian Fairchild, secretary to the New Zealand Sign & Display Association reports that the awards were held last Saturday at the Copthorne Hotel and Resort in the Bay of Islands. Dame Susan Devoy was the Master of Ceremonies and did a brilliant job even though she had a foot in plaster from a broken achilles that occurred a couple of days earlier. The results are below. Pictures and comments from some of the judges will follow.
