Easy Signs has demonstrated its support for the sign, graphics and visual communications sector by taking the Diamond Sponsorship of the industry’s biennial Awards, which will henceforth be known as the 2026 Easy Signs National Sign & Graphics Awards. 

The long-term trade supplier joins other leading industry organisations supporting the Awards, including new Gold Sponsor Visual Connections, the supplier association which also organises the Awards on behalf of the ASGA, and well-known industry insurance brokers, SMIB, who last month confirmed a Bronze Sponsorship.

These organisations join early-bird Gold Sponsors Avery Dennison, ORAFOL and Spandex, and Bronze Sponsors Currie Group and HP, in throwing their support behind the event. 

The Awards, which are hosted by the Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA), are the industry’s premier event, providing recognition of the industry’s achievements, and a showcase of the best work produced for the past two years. 

Andy Fryer, Director of Easy Signs, said, "At Easy Signs, we’re all about making life easier for people in the industry, so supporting the 2026 Easy Signs National Sign & Graphics Awards was a no-brainer. 

“There’s some incredible work being produced across Australia, and these awards shine a spotlight on the people behind it. As a business, we’re constantly innovating and pushing the industry forward, so we’re proud to support it in a meaningful way and help celebrate the very best of what it has to offer," he added.

ASGA President, Mick Harrold, said the Association was delighted to have Easy Signs on board – the first trade signage supplier to step up to support the event at this level.

“Easy Signs has long been a reliable partner to many a sign, display and visual graphics business, providing them with the opportunity to offer a broader range of products and services to their customers while maintaining profitability,” he said.

“Andy and the team have always been generous supporters of our ASGA and our initiatives, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have them as our naming rights sponsor for the Awards this year.”

Mick said the two other new sponsors, supplier association Visual Connections and industry insurers, SMIB, were also long-term supporters of ASGA.

“Visual Connections partners closely with us, and it’s great to have their events team running the 2026 Awards. This sponsorship further demonstrates their commitment to the sector, and to delivering a competition and celebration which does justice to the achievements of our industry,” Mick said. 

“The team at SMIB have been trusted advisors to industry businesses for many years, and this Bronze Sponsorship is just another example of their support.”

Entry into the 2026 Easy Signs National Sign & Graphics Awards is now open, for a comprehensive range of projects completed between Saturday 1 June 2024 and Thursday 4 June 2026. Entries close at 5pm on Friday 5 June 2026. 

“Entering the Awards is an opportunity to benchmark your best work against the industry’s premier sign and graphics businesses, to recognise the achievements of your team, and to increase your profile with customers and the wider industry,” Mick says.

“We are looking forward to seeing what Australian sign and graphics businesses have achieved over the past couple of years, and to celebrating those achievements with our industry friends and colleagues,” he added. 

The 2026 Easy Signs National Sign & Graphics Awards will be presented at a Gala Presentation Dinner at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park on the evening of Thursday 3 September, 2026, during the Visual Impact Expo.
