The date has been brought forward this year by one week to allow more time for the judges to assess the nominated product, and also to allow for greater planning in the display of the nominated product in the L&SI-sponsored PLASA Innovation Gallery, a major feature of the show, which in this year's single-level layout for the PLASA Show, will be positioned at the junction of Earls Court's two halls.
PLASA's Awards for Innovation seek to recognise new products which fulfil the criteria of 'Innovation' - i.e. that they "advance the industry by demonstrating a new style of thinking, improving technical practice or taking a key step forward in terms of safety."
Judged by a panel of respected industry professionals, products nominated for the PLASA Awards compete for one of eight Innovation Awards, while an additional trophy for Environmental Impact is available at the judges' discretion.
Entering the Awards for Innovation will dramatically increase your company's profile at the PLASA Show, as the Innovation Gallery, sponsored by Lighting&Sound International magazine, forms a main focal point for visitors to this world-leading event.
Furthermore, nominated products feature in the pre-PLASA Show issues of Lighting&Sound International magazine, with the successful winners also highlighted in the major post-Show October issue.
Those who have already put forward a product name for inclusion will shortly be contacted by PLASA with details of the four pieces of information which will complete their submission to the judges; those who have yet to nominate their product are asked to contact the e-mail address below without delay.
