Prolight + Sound, a significant player in the entertainment industry, continues to provide a platform for conferences, seminars, training, demo spaces, and networking opportunities. This year, it also hosts the mondo*dr Awards, an event that brings together professionals in a social environment, adjacent to the Prolight + Sound show floor.
First published in 1990, mondo*dr started as a discotheque review but has since expanded to cover a wide range of entertainment sectors, including nightclubs, bars and restaurants, theatres, concert halls, houses of worship, integrated resorts, and sporting venues.
The mondo*dr Awards, now in their fifth year, are designed to celebrate and incentivise innovation and technical excellence in the entertainment industry. While the motivation behind the establishment of the awards in 2017 is not explicitly stated in the current search results, it is typical for such awards to recognise creators whose work advances the field through new technologies or artistic achievements. They often highlight achievements in areas like visual effects, animation, sound design, or interactive media, encouraging ongoing creative and technical development.
The 2018 mondo*dr Awards will take place on Wednesday 11 April at 6.30pm in Panorama Room 2. The event features an independent global judging panel, each specialising in different technology sectors and venue types.
As the entertainment world undergoes significant changes with the emergence of new forms of entertainment, the importance of recognising and rewarding technical and artistic achievements becomes increasingly relevant. The mondo*dr Awards continue to play a crucial role in this regard, fostering a community of innovators and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the entertainment industry.
