Nominations Open for the Fifth Annual PLASA Rock Our World Awards

Nominations opened May 1, 2012 for PLASA's fifth annual Rock Our World Awards, which recognize groundbreaking achievement by PLASA members. Designed to acknowledge the genius of both the creator of technology and the designers or integrators who apply it, these awards highlight new products, product applications, or projects that make you proud to be a part of the industry that produced them.

Contestants for the 2011 awards showcased a wide variety of achievements, from the simplest problem solver to complex uses of technology that highlighted the collaborative nature of our industry and extended the boundaries of entertainment technology. The 2011 winners ranged from motor control cables and a new digital camera system to the Academy Awards and a temporary opera house.

Anyone may nominate a PLASA member for the awards. Mind-blowing work in the last year is being sought as entries. Nominations could be a piece of equipment, something identified at a trade show, read about in an industry magazine, or an event. The nomination could also be something created. Nominations for the 2012 awards must have been available in the market or premiered between October 1, 2010 and June 30, 2012 and must not have been previously nominated. Nominations close July 1, 2012.

A panel of judges, including well-known industry veterans and rising young stars will judge the nominations, and finalists will be announced in early September. The winners will be announced at PLASA's annual cocktail and awards ceremony at the LDI show in October.
