da Vinci Systems will host the first annual Master Colorist Awards competition. The company will feature the winning show reels at the NAB2004 exhibition. In addition to the prestigious Master Colorist title and prominent exposure at the exhibition, winning colorists in the TV and long form, theatrical release, commercial and music video categories will receive a trophy and three days of all-expenses-paid training with Kevin Shaw, the company's director of training, at da Vinci's facilities in Coral Springs, Florida.
To be eligible for the competition, each show reel submitted must demonstrate work that utilized a da Vinci Systems product. The entry can be a completed project, elements of a project, a reel produced specifically for the competition, or a promotional reel including selections of some or all of these. Entries will be judged by an international panel of industry experts, including leading journalists, consultants and educators within the field. The trophies will be presented to the winning colorists at the Telecine Internet Group's (TIG) annual party.
