IHMA Calls for Entries for Holography Awards

 

SUNBURY, UK | The International Hologram Manufacturers Assn. (IHMA) announces that nominations are open for its annual awards, which recognize outstanding achievement in those who have been at the forefront of the industry, pioneering innovation, or new hologram products or techniques, as well as the best use of holograms in a commercial context. 

The awards will be announced and presented at the annual industry dinner on December 4 during The Holography Conference in Istanbul, Turkey.

The association says delegates from hologram suppliers, manufacturers, and users around the world will attend the event, which will include a display of products and applications, including the awards shortlist and winners, showcasing the diverse security, anti-counterfeiting, and packaging benefits provided by cutting-edge holographic technologies.

This year’s competition will feature a new category, Best Applied Decorative/Packaging Product. Other award categories include Innovation in Holographic Technology, which focuses on new techniques in hologram origination, production, or finishing; and Best Origination for outstanding work in the design, artwork and techniques used in hologram origination.

The Best HOE Application will be given for the best application of holographic optical elements, and the best hologram used on a security product will also be marked with an award.

The annual Brian Monaghan Award for Business Innovation, given at the discretion of the IHMA Board, will go to an individual in recognition of his or her outstanding industry achievement and contribution.

Organizations and individuals can submit nominations on their own behalf or they can nominate a third-party project. Projects submitted for an award can be from any source—they do not have to be from IHMA members.

The closing date for applications and nominations is August 15 and submitted projects must relate to holograms introduced after August 1 2013. Entries will be judged by the IHMA Board, representatives of the worldwide industry elected by IHMA members.
