Print2Metal prints for the world
Specialist operation Print2Metal has been chosen to print all the award- winning entries in the World Photographic Cup onto metal, a remarkable accolade for the Melbourne-based business.
Taking place in Singapore, the World Photographic
Cup is the world’s premiere independent photo awards event. It is supported by
the main photographers’ associations of Europe, the US and Asia.
One of the awards’ sponsors is Chromaluxe, which manufactures, among other things, the metal material on to which Print2Metal, and other global metal printing businesses, print photographs. It chose Print2Metal from
all the businesses in the field
operating in various countries to print the Gold, Silver and Bronze award winning photos, across all eight categories.
Some 24 prints are currently in production at the Oakleigh factory, and will soon be ready to be shipped to Singapore.
Maria Cosgrave, co-owner
of Print2Metal, said, “We are thrilled to have been chosen to print the winning photographs onto metal.”

The awards evening will see the cream of Australian photography travel to Singapore in the hope of winning one of the awards.
Print2Metal has been operating since 2010, owned by Cosgrove and Frank Hoekstra together.
