The Hollywood Post Alliance is extending deadlines for the Engineering Excellence Award and the HPA Judges Award for Creativity and Innovation. The HPA will now accept entries in these categories until July 3.
Since 2006, The HPA Awards have recognized excellence in postproduction. The Engineering Excellence Award is designed to raise the profile of breakthrough technologies within the industry, spotlighting those that demonstrate technical and creative ingenuity in the real world of postproduction. Past winners include Sony Electronics, Cinnafilm, Dolby Laboratories, Crossroads Systems, Lightcraft Technology and IBM.
The HPA Judges Award for Creativity and Innovation in Postproduction was conceived to recognize companies and individuals that have made significant achievements in postproduction, creative storytelling and/or technical innovation. Past winners include Gradient Interactive, Testronic Labs and Steven J. Scott of EFILM.
Entrants need not be members of the Hollywood Post Alliance or working in the U.S. to submit work for consideration. The HPA Awards will take place Nov. 7 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
