The voting deadline for the 2008 Special Achievement Award has passed, so GSCA is no longer accepting nominations. The winner will be announced at the GSCA International Conference and Trade Show in Jersey City this September. We will notify members of the 2009 eligibility policy early next year.
This award is intended to recognize an outstanding achievement of any kind within the film production area and will be presented at the International Conference in Jersey City.
Each GSCA member may nominate a maximum of one individual.
The achievement must have been accomplished in relation to the production of an eligible film as follows.
To be eligible, films must have been: a) produced in their original form specifically for giant screen theaters; b) premiered in giant screen theaters before being released identically or in some variation for other types of presentation formats and; c) released and played at a GSCA member’s theater from May 1st, 2007, to April 30, 2008.
The following criteria will guide members in their nominations:
- An achievement in the film production area which stands out as exceptional in its own right within a particular giant screen film production; or
- An achievement in the film production area that significantly enhances the ability of a particular film, and potentially giant screen films generally, to be produced with the best tools to the highest standards.
