Prolight + Sound Awards 2018 Recognise Innovation in AV Technology
The Prolight + Sound Awards 2018, a prestigious event in the professional light and sound industry, honoured excellence in various categories. Although the exact categories, eligibility criteria, and the full list of past winners for 2018 are not explicitly detailed, the Prolight+Sound International Press Award (PIPA) 2018 was one prominent category that highlighted innovations such as the INSIGHT Laser 8K projector from Digital Projection, which won the 2018 award for Best Video.
This indicates that product innovation, especially related to audiovisual technology, features prominently in the Prolight + Sound Awards. Eligibility for such awards typically revolves around innovation, quality, and relevance within the professional event technology sector (lighting, sound, projection, stage technology).
The Sinus Award, another significant recognition, honours the most innovative projects in the field of audiovisual communication in the areas of information, entertainment, business, or venue. The Sinus - Systems Integration Award is given for innovative use of AV media technology and system integration solutions.
Both the Sinus Award and the Opus Award, a German Stage Prize that honours artistic achievement for the use of professional event technology, are traditionally presented as part of Prolight + Sound and Musikmesse. Visionary companies and individuals in the industry can submit suggestions for projects, people, project teams, or companies for the Sinus 2018 or Opus 2018 Awards.
The Sinus Award 2017 was presented to the media installation at the Hilti AG headquarters in Liechtenstein, while the Opus 2017 was awarded to two different projects: "Get Loud Open Air Tour 2016" by Rea Garvey in the category of stage and lighting design, and the staging of Schiller's "The Robbers". Christian "Rocket Chris" Glatthor was one of the recipients of the Opus 2017 Award for his work on "Get Loud Open Air Tour 2016".
The Opus Award has been granted annually since 2002, and the Sinus Award, although not as old, is considered one of the more prestigious awards in the AV media technology industry. The awards ceremony is scheduled for April 12 in the context of Prolight + Sound. Application forms and more information can be found at www.prolight-sound.com/sinus and www.prolight-sound.com/opus. The application deadline for both awards is November 12.
The Sinus Award can also honour lifetime achievement, making it a coveted recognition for those who have made significant contributions to the AV media technology industry. The Opus and Sinus Awards for excellence will be granted in 2018.
