Individual Creative Excellence awards to be announced at NAB 2004

The National Association of Broadcasters, in cooperation with Future Media Concepts (FMC), have announced they are launching the NAB Individual Creative Excellence (ICE) Awards to recognise those who stretch creativity and craft outstanding works in production and postproduction.
Part of the new Post|Production World Conference, the awards will be announced at NAB2004 in Las Vegas April 17 - 22.
"The attendees who come to our convention every year are tops in their field, producing cutting-edge digital art for a variety of audiences," said NAB Vice President, Science & Technology John Marino. "Joining with FMC to honour these leaders for their exceptional work is a natural fit for the convention - the world's largest gathering place for video production professionals."
Editors, graphic artists, sound designers, web designers and videographers from any entity that uses the medium of digital art to produce exceptional work are eligible to enter.
At an awards ceremony held during NAB 2004, five finalists and then one winner in six specific crafts will be announced. The crafts are: editing, graphics & animation, audio production and sound design, producing & directing, interactive design and videography & photography. Each craft is further classified into the broadcast, non-broadcast or student industries, and then into additional specific genres.
