All Members submitting ILDA Award entry videos have explicitly certified that the laser effects depicted meet safety standards, as well as all applicable laser safety laws and regulations (including laws for audience scanning) in the location where the show was performed. • Entries filmed in a studio, with no audience, can use any power and can scan anywhere, even if the original show was intended for an audience. • However, if the video depicts an audience watching the laser show, or has lasers near performers, then the show must be safe for the audience and performers, and must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. ILDA Awards safety review In addition to entrant statements, ILDA reviews every entry for any potential safety issues. ILDA has the right to remove or disqualify an entry if, in our opinion, the show violates or appears to violate safety standards, laws and/or regulations. Note that despite ILDA’s review process, ILDA cannot absolutely certify that an Awards entry is safe and legal. This is ultimately the responsibility of the entrant. If you have a laser or a laser projector, do NOT attempt to perform the type of audience- scanning effects seen in ILDA Award- winning videos 1) without qualified expert safety planning and supervision and 2) without prior written permission from the appropriate authorities. These authorities may include federal, state and local laser safety regulators, venue operators, and insurance companies. 2O19 ILDA Awards • November 1O • Orlando 6 Judging and Voting Artistic Awards Judging was done in June 2019 via online viewing and voting. Judges were Brad Billet, Alex Douglas, Olga Eser, Hank Eskin, Christine Jenkin, Theo Petrides, Adam Raugh, Paulo Cesar Saito and Merlin Schaadt. Judging coordinator was Awards Committee Chair Richard Gonsalves. Together they reviewed 164 artistic entries from 42 ILDA Member companies. Note that for each of the artistic award entry categories, there were three judges. However, these were not always the same three people. A person was not allowed to judge any category in which they had an entry, which is why there were nine persons serving as judges. Laser Photography and Career Achievement Award Judged by ILDA Members voting online, June 4 - June 18, 2019. Laser Jockey Judged by attendees watching the Laser Jockey performances live during the Lase-Off at the ILDA Conference in Orlando, November 9, 2019. Fenning Technical Awards (standard and IDN) Technical entries were judged via online discussion of a three- member panel that concluded July 12, 2019. Judges Bob Arkin, Tim Hallmark and Theo Petrides evaluated nine entries from six ILDA Members. 2O19 ILDA Awards • November 1O • Orlando 7 2O19 ILDA Awards 2O19 ILDA Awards • November 1O • Orlando 8 Corporate Show Third Place, Corporate Show SF Motors Launch Lightwave International Credits - Laser Programming and Light Designer: Pavel Zmunchila; Laser Technicians: Neal Nance, Brandon Dzurino; Show Design: Sila Sveta Music - N/A Laser mapping to video and actual cars unveils SF Motors' newest lineup. 2O19 ILDA Awards • November 1O • Orlando 9 Second Place, Corporate Show Lokoland Dreamlaser Credits - Alice Soboleva, Olga Saveleva, Vyacheslav Konovalov, Catherine Studenova, Sergey Zabosin, Alexey Kozin, Alexander Istomin Music - Anuch, "Epic"; Matthew L.

The precise synchronization of the screen video with the laser beam movement made it possible to create the illusion of brutal burning the screen through with a powerful beam. The basis of the graphic part of the show was also performed in laser software, although it was intended to be shown as video on an LED screen due to technical requirements. 2O19 ILDA Awards • November 1O • Orlando 11 Live TV Show Third Place, Live TV Show Imenella Live at P3Guld Laserimage AB Credits - Programming: Love Karlsson, Laser Tech and Project Manager: Johan Lindell Music - Imenella, "Chagga" A live broadcast music awards show.
