AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE
Celebrating Craftsmanship. Inspiring Pride. Elevating Our Profession.
The Master Painters Awards for Excellence shine a spotlight on the skill, innovation, and professionalism that define Queensland’s painting
and decorating industry.
More than an awards night, it’s a celebration of the people and businesses who set the benchmark for quality, integrity, and pride in our
trade.
Hosted in spectacular style at the Star Casino Brisbane, the most recent Awards brought together a record 398 guests for an unforgettable evening of connection, celebration, and craftsmanship. The event opened with the stage coming alive with the spirit of fire, a symbol of unity, drive, and enduring purpose, fuelling the energy and setting something extraordinary in motion that drives our profession forward.
From heritage restorations and decorative finishes to major commercial and residential projects, each award recognised true excellence, work that reflects dedication, mastery, and passion for the craft. Every entry was inspected and judged against clear, independent criteria, ensuring that recognition was earned, not claimed.
Why the Awards Matter
The Awards for Excellence form a cornerstone of Master Painters Queensland’s mission: to raise industry standards, enhance business success,
and strengthen the reputation of painting as a skilled, professional trade.
Winning, or even being a finalist, delivers tangible business benefits, helping members command premium pricing, convert more client quotes,
and elevate their personal and business brands under the respected banner of an Award-Winning Master Painter.
These accolades are not just about prestige; they are proof of professionalism. They demonstrate to clients, builders, and the broader community that painting is not something “anyone can do”, it’s a craft that demands skill, training, precision, and pride.
A Reason to Belong
Entry to the Awards for Excellence is exclusive to Master Painters Queensland members, and that exclusivity carries real value.

credibility, and connection that help grow their business and their reputation.

Building Pride and Opportunity
Behind every award-winning project is a team of painters, apprentices, and business owners, whose dedication brings quality painting to
life.
Their achievements build pride in our trade and demonstrate that painting is not just a job, but an aspirational career and a pathway to
building a sustainable business.
It’s about recognition for the skill, patience, and craftsmanship that transform spaces and elevate perceptions of what it means to be a
professional painter.
