The Technical Theatre Awards (TTA[1]) were created in 2013 by Ian Taylor and Olivia Dermot Walsh. The intention is to provide the theatre and events industries with a series of awards, to provide recognition for the work and achievements of technical theatre individuals over the past year.
Nominations can be submitted by anyone, whether they are performers, companies or an individual. Voting on the nominees runs June–August, with the awards presented in a ceremony at the closing of the PLASA Show exhibition in September.[1]
Awards
Awards are often sponsored by companies within the industry. Companies can choose to sponsor an award in their particular area of interest, or one that is not normally affiliated with the company.
