Congratulations 2021 TEA Masters!The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) -- the global, nonprofit membership association for the creators of compelling places and experiences -- has announced the slate of TEA Masters honorees for 2021. The TEA Masters program celebrates masters of their craft in the global visitor attractions industry. The 2021 TEA Masters will be officially honored and showcased in a special, free online event produced and presented by TEA on November 3, 2021 that will include an educational discussion with the TEA Masters as panelists. Registration details will be posted at www.teaconnect.org. The TEA Masters program, initiated several years ago by the TEA Past Presidents Committee, helps boost awareness of the many creative specialties and disciplines that collaborate to produce excellence and breakthrough guest experiences in themed entertainment. Engaging more fully with leading practitioners in these areas benefits our TEA membership community and the industry as a whole, fostering greater appreciation and understanding of the disciplines themselves and their role and impact within a project team. "Through their vast experience and contributions to the industry, these six individuals have truly become masters at their craft," says TEA international board president Chuck Fawcett of Animax Designs. "They are highly respected, dedicated and passionate about their work and foster a culture of collaboration that inspires so many others to follow in their footsteps. We are so honored to have them join our esteemed group of TEA Masters." How TEA Masters are nominated and selected -- TEA sends an official call for nominations to its worldwide membership and to the themed entertainment industry at large. The TEA Masters Committee reviews the submissions and recommends the slate of honorees for final approval from the TEA International Board of Directors. To qualify for TEA Masters consideration, nominees must have a minimum of twenty years as a professional in a discipline associated with the themed entertainment industry; have made significant contributions in that regard; and be currently practicing. Nominees must not be currently serving on the TEA International Board, or the TEA Masters Committee.
