Business Excellence Awards

Screens, staging and lighting for an awards banquet — the room that has to look like the photographs it will be judged by.

What the job involved, and what it had to work around.

The project

What the job was

An awards night is a photography brief disguised as an event. Every winner will be photographed on that stage, and those photographs are the entire afterlife of the evening — the press release, the LinkedIn post, next year’s entries.

That makes the backdrop the most important thing in the room. DSD supplied the screen carrying category and sponsor branding, the staging, and lighting set so that a phone camera in the crowd and the official photographer both get a usable shot.

Sponsors get their placement where it will actually be seen — behind the winner, in every photograph taken all night.
