Alongside the awards dedicated to extraordinary individuals, four companies and three theatres will go head-to-head for the two company-based awards that are up for grabs: the Hire Company of the Year Award, and the 'Spotlight Accounting' Receiving Venue of the Year Award.
An additional award is dedicated to the theatre that has demonstrated the most effective awareness of venue sustainability and will be chosen and presented by leading industry specialists, :entertaining sustainability.
Voting is open to all members of the theatre industry and organisers are promoting each of the nominee's on the TTA website, with information about the achievements of the individuals, companies and theatres in question.
Friends, past colleges or places of employment are getting behind their favourites and using the TTA social media pages as a platform to campaign from. Most significantly, the Technical Theatre Awards are fortunate enough to list PLASA as an official supporter, with the leading international trade association allowing the awards to be presented at their 2013 trade show.
"An enormous amount of this outstanding support has come from the sponsors of the awards themselves," say the organisers. "Some of the most renowned companies within the industry have been kind enough to not only financially back the awards, but offer invaluable support in terms of their promotion and online advertisement of the TTAs."
The closing date for all voting is Monday 30 September - with the winners being announced at PLASA, the ExCeL Centre London, on Tuesday 8 October 2013.
