Frankfurt am Main, October 8, 2024. Next year, the “Sinus – Systems Integration Award” will once again be presented during Prolight + Sound, an international industry highlight for event and entertainment technology. To mark the 30th anniversary of the trade show, particularly innovative projects will be honored with a new special award. In addition to a professional jury, a public vote will be part of the decision-making process for the first time.
Since 2004, the Sinus has recognized outstanding solutions in the field of system integration, with a focus on the targeted transmission of messages and emotions through the progressive use of AV media technology. The award is supported by the Association of Media and Event Technology (VPLT e.V.), the European Association of Event Centres (EVVC e.V.), and Messe Frankfurt.
New Award: Sinus AVantgarde for Innovations
For the first time in 2025, a special prize will be awarded: the Sinus AVantgarde for Innovations, designed to honor forward-thinking projects that set new impulses in the integration of audiovisual media through particularly innovative implementations, advancing the progress of the industry. With the introduction of this award, the organizers aim to emphasize the importance of innovation in a constantly evolving technical environment. The goal is also to bring progressive technologies and concepts more into the spotlight.
Application period until November 15, 2024
Participants and industry professionals can submit or recommend projects to be considered by the November 15, 2024 deadline at www.prolight-sound.com/sinus.
The Sinus – Systems Integration Award and the Sinus AVantgarde for Innovations will be presented on Thursday, April 10, 2025, during an elegant gala evening at the Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof.
The Audience Decides
The Sinus – Systems Integration Award 2025 comes with another first: a public vote will be part of the decision-making process. Until now, winners have been exclusively selected by a professional jury comprised of association members, representatives of Messe Frankfurt, and other experts. Now, all interested industry professionals can cast their votes for the top entries on the Prolight + Sound website between November 20 and 30, 2024.
The evaluation criteria include not only technical and artistic aspects but also factors such as innovation, experience quality, and sustainability.
Mira Wölfel, Director of Prolight + Sound, states: One of the standout features of the event industry is its willingness to consistently push boundaries and think outside the box, not only regarding entertainment value but also with a focus on sustainable solutions. Achievements in the field of audiovisual installations are a driving force for the future, and we want to especially recognize this with the Sinus – Systems Integration Award and the new Sinus AVantgarde for Innovations.
From Dark Matter to Mega Spheres
The diversity of the field of AV system integration is demonstrated by past winners. The Sinus 2024 went to the mega-event medium Sphere in Las Vegas. With its spectacular fusion of innovative technologies and artistic sophistication, it sets a significant benchmark for the future of immersive entertainment. Germany also boasts top-quality AV installations, as evidenced by the 2023 Sinus winner: Dark Matter in Berlin, where sound, light, and movement come together in touching choreographies across a 1000 m² space. Through the creative use of modern lighting and sound technology, a multidimensional parallel world of stunning brilliance is created.
