Las Vegas, Oct. 23, 2004: Members of the
International Laser Display Association honored the best and brightest
in their industry with awards for outstanding technological, artistic
and career achievement at the group’s annual awards banquet Oct. 23
in Las Vegas.
Companies from America, Belgium, Germany, Italy
and Russia received the industry’s equivalent of Hollywood’s “Oscars”
for shows that included outdoor festivals, corporate productions,
theme park installations and special events. This year saw the addition
of three new categories recognizing laser displays in nightclubs
and discos, lasers displays used in video and film productions,
and laser displays used in live stage performances. There was
also a new "Best of Show," won by LFI International and
Fischer Media Group, honoring what the judges considered
to be the most outstanding laser display from among all the
winning entries. A total of 16 companies, representing six nations,
took home awards in a dozen categories.
ILDA artists awards are given in
twelve categories, with a panel of judges reviewing live laser presentations
whenever possible. A unanimous vote was required to award the "Best
of" in each category.
A complete list of winners appears
below.
