UK - The Knight of Illumination (KOI) Awards – the industry’s largest Awards to celebrate the achievements in lighting and video design seen in the UK -has announced a special collaboration between KOI Awards, Hawthorn and the PLASA Show.
This initiative will introduce a new exhibition area to the PLASA Show (17-19 September 2017), specifically created to showcase the shortlisted and winning designers of the 10th annual Knight of Illumination Awards.
The designated KOI area will be located upstairs at the London Olympia exhibition halls. All visitors to the show are invited to see the showcase of work created by the shortlisted lighting designers, and following Sunday’s ceremony, an update with the winning designs.
Chris Toulmin, director of events at PLASA Events comments: “This collaboration enables us to display some of the best creative talents from lighting and video design at the PLASA Show. Lighting has always been one of the cornerstones of the show. It is therefore fitting that we celebrate the work of the creatives who put this technology to such outstanding use.”
Martin Hawthorn, CEO of Hawthorn adds: “Over the last ten years we have watched the event grow into the most reputable and appreciated Awards of its kind. We wanted to increase the reach of the Awards to a broader audience by showcasing the industry's top design talent from Theatre, Television, Concert Touring & Events to everyone at the PLASA Show.”
The KOI Awards ceremony will be presented as part of a glittering dinner on 17 September 2017 at the Eventim Hammersmith Apollo.
