In what was a pleasant surprise I received this certificate in the post today. It turns out my studio was winner in the category of Best Graphic Design in the Association of Irish Festival Events annual supplier awards sponsored by Rocket Pyrotechnics which were held in Sligo last month. The award was for work on the 2010 Cork Midsummer Festival.
Its nice to get this recognition — my studio has become something of a festival specialist. Over the past 19 years we have worked on nearly 40 separate festivals, including fourteen consecutive Wexford Festival Operas, three consecutive Cork Midsummer festivals, ten consecutive Cat Laughs comedy festivals, three consecutive Southern Soul and Disco festivals, eight Cork Film festivals and one Kilkenomics economics & comedy festival.
