The LDI 2020 Design Achievement Awards, produced by Questex and supported by headline sponsor WorldStage, honored design excellence in the fields of lighting design, projection/video design, and production design in the areas of Theatre (including dance and opera), Live For Broadcast, and Concert Touring & Events. Judging panels selected the shortlisted designs from the nominations, and Live Design readers voted on the winners. The awards included the first-ever Pandemic Pivot Prizes (PPP) that will recognize individuals, companies, and teams that have successfully pivoted their business or productions in the face of industry shutdown due to COVID-19.
The awards were presented in a virtual format by the LDI/Live Design team on January 13, 14, and 15 and broadcast via WorldStage’s Digital Oasis platform for virtual events services. Digital Oasis is a comprehensive online hosting solution purpose-built by production people for the live event production community to provide the foundation for successful virtual events.
