Two graduates from Australian newspaper print sites were among finalists in the competition for the LIA's $15,000 national scholarship.

Finalists Jayd Kiely from APN Print Yandina, Queensland, and Ross McClean from Fairfax Mandurah in WA, were among those who had won their respective state awards in 2016 and 2017 to qualify.

The top award went to Chloe Rudd from PrintDNA in South Australia, while Jason Turai (Orora Group SA) won the LIA/Printing Industries Future Leaders award which includes a fully paid trip to an international print trade show next year.

LIA federal president Mel Ireland said the group was "always honoured to be able to celebrate and reward outstanding emerging talent in the industry".

Other finalists were Warren Ojeda (Print Media, NSW), Laura Burgett (Graphics Services, Spatial Services Div of Dept of Finance, NSW), Sarah Kennedy (Colorcorp, Qld), Lea Abela (Lithocraft, Vic), Ahmed El Rachidy (Visy Food Can, Vic), and Saied Safa (Picton Press, WA).

Graduates had a memorable experience in Brisbane with site tours of Platypus Graphics and Inprint plants in Geebung followed by a cocktail party the night before the PICA awards.
