ILDA Career Achievement Awards
Deadline: Friday, 16 January 2009

You do not need a special entry form for this; in fact, you can enter by email if you wish. Here is how to enter:

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, 16 January 2009.

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; this is fine!)

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. If you are nominating another person, feel free to work with them, so they can help put together this document.

As a guide, past CAA nomination biography/descriptions 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.

Automatic entries

Every CAA nomination is good for five years. This means that once a person has been nominated, they automatically are considered for the next five Awards years (or until they win, of course). These are the "automatic" nominees for 2009:

• Lothar Bopp, LOBO (first nominated 2007)

• Fred Fenning, Image Engineering (first nominated 2004)

• Carl Hannigan, Precision Projection Systems (first nominated 2004)

• Steve Heminover, Aura Technologies (first nominated 2004)

• Greg Makhov, LSDI (first nominated 2007)

• Chris Matthews, Laser Creations Int'l. (first nominated 2004)

• Dick Sandhaus, Science Faction (first nominated 2004)

• Cory Simpson, LFI/Lightspeed/KOHR (first nominated 2007)

• Bernd Steinert, spectrabeam.de (first nominated 2006)

• John Tilp, Laser Images (first nominated 2007)

If the nominee or a friend/associate wants to update or resubmit the nomination biography/description, send this new material to ILDA's Executive Director by the 16 January 2009 deadline. Otherwise, ILDA will use the most recent biography/description in our files.

Judging process

All nominations received by the 16 January 2009 deadline, plus the "automatic" nominees, will be submitted to the CAA judges. Judging will take place in spring 2009. And, at the 2009 ILDA Conference, the winner of the 2009 Career Achievement Award will be announced.
