Named in honour of the late Tony Gottelier, the industry innovator and commentator who passed away in 2006, the Gottelier Award is aimed at those members of our industry who have made a significant and sustained contribution to the advancement of entertainment, presentation or installation technology - whether in audio, lighting, rigging, staging, or any other related field.
Once the deadline for nominations passes this Friday (13 July), a shortlist will be drawn up of the most widely nominated people, and their names will be put forward, along with a brief summary of their achievements, to the Gottelier Award page on the PLASA Show website (address below) - and also publicised here at www.lsionline.co.uk - ready for the industry to vote for the person they would most like to see recognised for their contribution.
The online voting will remain open until 24 August 2007, and the winner of this first Gottelier Award will be revealed during the PLASA Show at Earls Court on Monday 10 September.
The PLASA Media team, publishers of Lighting&Sound International magazine and sponsor of the PLASA Awards, can reveal that so far there is a clear field of three front-running candidates: the names of the people who join them in the final voting stage will depend on the nominations occurring over the next few days . . .
