LOBO Wins at ILDA Awards

In 2019, once again, the ILDA conference took place. The highlight was the prestigious ILDA Awards ceremony. This prize, which is given for the best in laser shows of the year by competitors to competitors, is considered the "Oscar of the laser show industry" and the most objective benchmark in show design. The ILDA -- the International Laser Display Association -- has been an organization of 169 members, the most influential in the laser show business, since its foundation 33 years ago.

Last month, at the Embassy Suites of the Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort in Orlando, Florida, the ILDA Artistic Awards have been presented amongst 193 entries -- and LOBO is among the winners. Four times this year, Lobo took the lead, and with now 171 awards in total, they could expand their advantage compared to all the other competitors on the ILDA's all-time global ranking. None of the other companies received more awards than Lobo this year -- moreover, Lobo was the only participant that managed to achieve two first places, the company says!

New this year is the category "Beams/Atmospheirc Show with Outboard Effects," in which Lobo received two awards: First place for the show "Tecnoids" as well as second place for the show "Humanity" (show designer: Diana Coenen). For "Tecnoids" in particular, the creative use of effects and reflector mirrors, which contributed to the rhythmic interplay of laser and music, is of note; "Humanity" distinguishes itself especially through the harmonious balance of hectic turbulence and gentle tranquility, efficiently illustrated with laser beams -- thus judged the jury.

In the category "Laser Photography," the creative director in charge, Matthias Müller-Quernheim, secured first place for "Power Plant" and second place for "Lightliquid" for the company. The atmospheric focus on the subject of the flower made of light, as well as the powerful execution of laser beams flowing into the frame like a liquid, were captured perfectly and managed to convince the jury of Lobo's creative efforts twofold.
