Live Design presents the 2019 Excellence in Installation Awards, honoring visual and sound installation work in such venues as clubs, theaters, arenas, restaurants, and museums. The Excellence In Installation Awards help extend the brand’s focus into the overall live experience and replace the former Excellence In Live Design Awards, many categories of which are now honored at the KOI-USA Awards.

Nominations are now being accepted for outstanding achievement in installation projects occurring from November 1, 2018 through November 1, 2019.
The final deadline for nominations is Friday, December 20, 2019 at 5 p.m. ET.
