AGDA Tasmania 1996 Report

Tasmanian Awards for Excellence 96
Our second year as one of the three hosts - the two others being the Public Relations Institute of Australia (Tasmania) and the Art Directors Club of Tasmania. Awards for Excellence in Graphic Design entries almost doubled, from 107 in 1995 to 179 this year. At the dinner on 25 October, the Gold and Merit awards were made.

Graphic design students from the School of Art made a strong showing, with John Clemons taking out a Gold Award for Exhibition Catalogues, the Student Award, and the overall Gold Award for Excellence in Graphic Design.
