Clay Paky to Sponsor New Awards

At the recent ABTT Annual Awards Dinner in London, Clay Paky announced the new Awards: ‘The Knight of Illumination’.

The event, promoted and sponsored by Clay Paky in association with STLD and ALD, will provide public recognition for outstanding achievements in Lighting Design by UK based lighting designers. The intention is that the Awards will forge closer ties between the world of lighting design and the lighting industry as a whole.

Clay Paky has always been attentive to the needs of the lighting market and its designers, and regards the lighting designer as a “Knight of Illumination” – a slightly romantic and generous figure, always ready to offer and defend values of integrity and professionalism. They see the LD offering his skills, ‘sword’ in hand - a simple metaphor for the automated lighting tools put at his disposal by the lighting industry.

The judges for each of the categories of the awards, and the criteria of nomination will be selected and coordinated entirely by STLD and ALD and the two associations will ensure that the Awards go to recipients showing professionalism and integrity of lighting design each year.

Clay Paky, who conceived and are promoting the event, will present the winners with their prizes in the following professional areas and categories: Rock Concerts (touring/arena events/stage events); Theatre (musicals/drama/dance/opera); Television (light entertainment/drama/special events/music programmes). There will also be a lifetime achievement award.

The first awards will be presented at the ABTT Annual Awards Dinner 2008.

Further information on the event, on the criteria of evaluation and on the rules for participation, will soon be available on the Clay Paky website and from STLD and ALD.
