Vivid Sydney has won 2 awards at the 2022 Australian Event Awards held last November.
The event itself won ‘Best Public Event (National)’ beating the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, Adelaide Fringe, Tasting Australia & Parrtjima – A Festival In Light while the Technical Direction Company won ‘Best Technical Achievement’ for their work providing the projectors & the software to map the projections to the buildings, notably the Sydney Opera House.
The Technical Direction Company also beat LASERVISION for their work producing a “musical fountain square” for Vietnamese tourism destination, MerryLand Quy Nohn and Norwest Productions for their work at The Games Of The XXXIInd Olympiad: Tokyo 2020.
Vivid Sydney is a bright star on Sydney’s events calendar supporting the entire ecosystem of the state’s visitor economy during winter, from our creative industries to live entertainment and hospitality venues, accommodation providers and retailers.
Our aim is to be the premier events destination of the Asia Pacific and this internationally renowned, and celebrated, event is vital in realising this vision.
