With 15 categories to choose from firms are encouraged to put themselves forward with the chance of picking up a prestigious win giving their work and company a massive marketing boost as well as winning cash prizes. David Catanach, director of the BSGA says: “The closing date for submitting entries is Friday, September 7th, so any sign makers out there who have completed work they are proud of should get their submissions ready now.”
There are 15 award categories covering every facet of sign making from large scale structural signs, through wayfinding schemes to wide format projects and multi-site roll-outs.
There’s also an award for the Small Sign Business of the Year, recognising the largest part of the industry is made up of SMEs”
“We also have a special award for the Young Sign Maker of the Year which is open to anyone working in the industry aged 25 or under and which, for the first time, carries cash prizes for the winner and runners-up,” adds Catanach. “The award recognises the role young people play in the industry and highlights the importance of providing them with the right type of training.”
There is also a change in this year’s vehicle graphics awards due to the advances in materials, technology and application skills. Because virtually any vehicle can be either wrapped or liveried so there are awards for Best Van Wrap, Best Fleet Livery, Best Sports Livery amongst others.
There’s also an award for the Small Sign Business of the Year, recognising the largest part of the industry is made up of SMEs. The category is open to any business employing five or less people and they are invited to submit a selection of work completed over the past 12 months.

Entry to the awards is free and is open to all UK sign and associated businesses. Membership of the BSGA is not a requirement for entry. Details can be found at britishsignawards.org.
