Display Magazine Display of the Year Awards
The 2008 Display of the Year Awards, the most prestigious
awards in the display industry, will be announced and
presented at the 2008 SID International Symposium, Seminar and
Exhibition, which will take place in Los Angeles, CA, May
18-23, 2008.
The Display of the Year Awards Committee has opened up the
nominations process to allow companies to self-nominate their
own products, applications and components, in addition to
accepting outside nominations. However, the source of the
nomination will in no way influence the committee's final
selections of award winners. In short, anyone can nominate any
product, application or component, regardless of company
affiliation.
The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2007. To be
eligible for a 2008 award, the product, application or component must have
been
introduced and been commercially available at some time
between January
1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.
Display of the Year Award winners are selected by an
international committee consisting of leading members of the
technical display community. The DYAC considers many factors,
including technical innovation, commercial significance, and
likely social impact when determining the award winners.
