IHMA chairman Mike Messmer said: “The awards celebrate the very best in holographic achievement and the many remarkable innovations the industry introduces each year.

“Creativity, flair and design excellence will again be to the fore in this year’s crop of entries, reflecting how holography continues to push the holographic boundaries forward both technically and commercially.”

Anyone involved in a hologram project can enter while others can nominate holographic projects for an award as long as they provide details of the user or producer of the hologram. Application forms from Kim Del Pellegrino, IHMA at info@ihma.org or www.theholographyconference.com
