The Master Painters Awards for Excellence 2011
Oh What a Night!
The ‘Awards for Excellence’ is the painting industries night of nights and is an opportunity for painters to showcase their projects from the smallest decorative wall to a multi storey project. Held this year at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour the Awards for Excellence 2011 was a spectacular night with an even more spectacular backdrop – the Sydney skyline reflected in the waters of Cockle Bay.
The Master Painter’s resident comedian, and Painter and Decorator by trade, Mick Meredith kept the Awards night on track with his wit and good humour. However, the real stars of the show were the variety of high quality projects entered by the members of the Master Painters Association.
Awards were presented in 21 categories along with the prestigious ‘Regional Project of the Year’ and ‘Project of the Year’ awards.
This year also saw the introduction of the President’s Cup – an award in recognition of outstanding work achievements by an individual.
As usual the Judges had the difficult job of deciding the finalists and the winners. Our judges spent many hours discussing the criteria; particularly as in many categories only 5 points separated all of the entries!
Congratulations to the Category Winners

A fantastic evening was had by all at the 11th Annual Master Painters Australia NSW Association Awards for Excellence. This year the Grand Ballroom of the Shangri La Hotel was filled to the brim with nearly 400 with painters, apprentices and sponsors alike.
This year more then 140 entries were received from painting and decorating contractors all across New South Wales as far West as Broken Hill and as far South as Cooma. The judges Brian Tompson and Graham Donaldson with over 80 combined years experience in the painting and decorating industry whittled these entries down to 74 finalists in 23 categories.
It is an achievement in itself in making it to the finalists stage and all entrants who made it that far should be strongly congratulated and be proud of your achievements.
The major sponsors for the event were once again Dulux Australia. Our sincere thanks goes to Dulux for their continuing ongoing support, without the support of our sponsors this night would not be possible. Our corporate sponsors, Selleys, Graco, Resene, Wattyl, MCA Business Education, Advance Scaffold, Wattyl Australia, Zinsser, NSW Office of Fair Trading, AFA Insurance Master Painters Insurance Services and PPG Australia must also be thanked for their generous support of the evening.
