KOI 2019 Concert Touring and Events Shortlist AnnouncedThe Concert Touring and Events judging panel for The Knight of Illumination (KOI) Awards, a celebration of video and lighting design, reveals the 2019 shortlist for the Concert Touring and Events category. Having received a record number of submissions, up 25 percent from the 2017 Awards, the judging panel had the difficult task of choosing just a fraction of the entries to put forward for the shortlist. This year's judging panel comprised LSi editor Claire Beeson, music business and events consultant Ronnie Gurr, director of architectural lighting firm 18 Degrees Christopher Knowlton, head of lighting design at Imagination Jonny Milmer, and Output communications director Kelly Murray. The process was chaired by Jess Allan of Productionomics. The 2019 Concert Touring and Events shortlist is as follows: The MA Lighting Award for Club Hayden Borgars for Fever 333 Sherry Coenen for Frankenstein: How to Make a Monster John 'JP' Partridge for Metronomy
The disguise Award for Video Content Tom Colbourne, Rob Sinclair, and Blue Leach for Kylie Minogue Adam Young and Finn Ross for Years & Years Paul Kell for Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets

Commenting on this year's Concert Touring and Events submissions, Allan says, "The vastly diverse selection of artistic projects submitted this year made for fierce deliberations at the judges' meeting to select the final shortlist. We are honored to review in detail these artistic pieces."
