All work that would have been submitted in previous years into this category will now go into a current suitable category.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIllustrations and Murals\u201d is a new category that merges the two categories, which were \u201cHand Rendered Illustrations and Murals\u201c and \u201cDigital Illustrations and Murals\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A new category \u201cTraditional Handcrafted Signs\u201d has been created. This category is suitable for all techniques of hand-crafted signs that is considered traditional.<\/li>\n<li>The \u201c3D modelling\u201d category has been removed. All entries that would have previously been submitted into this category can now be put into \u201cDimensional Signs\u201d or any other suitable category.<\/li>\n<li>The \u201cVehicles \u2013 Custom Wrapped\u201d now requires you to provide a copy of the Content License Agreement for any use of any trademarked or copywritten imagery used within the work, if any.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please make sure that when you enter your artwork into the NZ Sign Awards for 2022 and beyond that you have read through current categories and choose the most suitable for your work. The descriptions and judging guidelines along with the scoring criteria may be different than previous years. \u00a0A reminder that the same work can be submitted into more than one category if the work is suited to more than one.<\/p>\n<p>For the full list of Awards Categories 2022, along with the Judging Guideline and Scoring Criteria see here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Award-Classes-and-Entries_2022-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Awards of Excellence Categories &amp; Criteria 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Submit your stand out creations on the Awards Website here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.nzsda.net.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Zealand Sign and Display Awards (nzsda.net.nz)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the signage industry evolving every year, the NZSDA Board look at the categories and descriptions to ensure they reflect the changing environment and also taking into consideration feedback received from previous entrants and comments from judges.\u00a0 We need to ensure for all our users that the awards website is a user friendly experience and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15321,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-industry-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzsda.org.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
