Rental & Staging Systems magazine, together with the International Communications Industries Association, Inc. (ICIA) have announced the 2004 Rental & Staging Systems Awards.
Following on the success of the first annual Awards program that culminated with the presentation of trophies at InfoComm 2003, the 2004 Rental & Staging Systems Awards will once again recognize and reward excellence in the design and production of AV in staged events, and for innovative new products. Rental & Staging Systems magazine will conduct the juried awards program, in cooperation with ICIA and its members, concluding with the presentation of awards at InfoComm 2004 being held the week of June 9-11, 2004 in Atlanta, GA. Awards will be presented for the best staged events of the year (2003), and for the best new products for the rental and staging market introduced in 2003.
Winners of awards for the best staged events of the year will be selected by an independent panel of judges including members of the ICIA Rental and Staging Council and editorial staff of Rental & Staging Systems magazine. Awards for the best new products for the rental and staging market will be made on the basis of a special Rental & Staging Systems magazine readers' poll. Information about the 2004 Rental & Staging Systems Awards will appear in the November 2003 issue of Rental & Staging Systems magazine, and on the Rental & Staging Systems website (www.rentalandstaging.com). Entries for the Events category are due February 6, 2004.
