ILDA is now accepting nominations for the Career Achievement Award. The deadline for nominations is the same as for the Artistic and Fenning Awards: Friday, November 30 2007  Monday, December 17 2007.

Who may be nominated

You can nominate anyone who is an "exceptional individual with a distinguished history of achievement in the laser display industry." The nominee can be anyone -- they do not have to be an ILDA Member. (You can even nominate yourself, if you wish!)

In the past, there have been three broad categories of winners:

• those who helped build significant laser display-related businesses,
• those who made artistic and technical achivements, and
• those who worked to improve ILDA and the laser display industry.

The nominee can have achieved in one, two or all three of these areas. In whatever area(s) they worked, the person should have made significant and lasting achievements in the field of laser display.

How to enter

To enter, submit the nominee's name, plus a biography/description of the person. This should go beyond just a "resume listing" of places they have worked. It should Include information about the career of the nominee and why his or her achievements are significant. Feel free to work with the nominee, to have him or her help put together the biography/description.

As a guide, past submissions have been from 1 to 10 pages, with the average about 2-3 pages.

Send your CAA nomination via e-mail to ILDA's Executive Director. Your nomination submission will be passed on to the CAA judges in confidence; no one will be told who made the nomination.

Judging process

In early 2008, a group of laser professionals chosen by ILDA from around the world will judge the submissions. And, at the 2008 ILDA Conference, the winner of the 2007 Career Achievement Award will be announced.
