Gottelier 2018: Celebrate the People Behind the Products -- Nominate Now Each year, PLASA's prestigious Gottelier Award recognizes product developers who have made significant and sustained contributions to the advancement of entertainment, presentation, or installation technology -- whether in audio, lighting, rigging, staging, or any related field. Presented to the winner at the PLASA Show, the award is named in memory of Tony Gottelier, the renowned industry innovator and commentator who passed away in 2006. The nomination process allows anyone in the industry to put forward both individuals and development teams for consideration. Following the nomination stage, a shortlist of nominees is circulated to PLASA members and registered PLASA Show visitors, who exclusively vote to elect a winner. PLASA asks: "If you have a product developer or team in mind that you think deserves recognition, please send your nomination to awards@plasashow.com by Friday, August 17, with GOTTELIER as the subject line." Previous recipients of the Gottelier Award include: Wayne Howell (Artistic Licence), Anne Valentino (ETC), David Cunningham (Entertec), Pasquale Quadri (Claypaky), Jim Bornhorst (Vari-Lite), John Meyer (Meyer Sound), Terry Clarke (Klark-Teknik, MC2 Audio), Fred Foster (ETC), Alex Cooper (Midas and Klark Teknik), John Stadius (DiGiCo / Soundtracs), and Tony Andrews (Funktion-One). "Who would you like to see added to that list?" Let PLASA know at awards@plasashow.com.
