This new edition of the Awards has been implemented with improved criteria and rules:

It is open to UK-based LDs (for the theatre section it is open to theatre productions performed in the UK though not necessarily designed by UK based LDs) with a show performing in the UK  between September 2009 and May 2010.

The applications can be made not only directly by UK-based LDs, but also by UK rental companies and/or LDs sponsors entering any UK-based LD’s work that they feel merits nomination for this year's awards.

Exclusively for Television categories: anyone can submit a show, they do not have to have worked on it.

The Awards for ‘The Knight of Illumination’ will be nominated and judged by a panel of professional reviewers working in the specific categories, selected and coordinated by the STLD and the ALD.

The newly designed Knight of Illumination portal web page allows designers and/or their sponsors to place their entries on a secure web page which can be updated by the nominees and reviewed by the judges but not accessed by other nominees. The committee will then forward to the applicants’ log in details for a secure Content Manager website where LDs must place as much of the requested information as possible (high size limit) for consideration by the judges.

Registrations to the contest will be closed on May 31 2010.

Date of awards: Sunday September 12, 2010, this being the first day of PLASA 2010.
