The Hollywood Post Alliance announced that The NAB Show will sponsor the HPA Engineering Excellence Award category in the HPA Awards. The 2010 winners of the HPA Awards will be announced during a celebratory evening on Nov. 11 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
The Awards, which launched five years ago, were designed to foster awareness of post production, promote creative and technical excellence, recognize the achievements of post production talent, and build involvement in the Hollywood Post Alliance. The HPA Awards honor 12 craft categories, and also give awards for Lifetime Achievement, Creativity and Innovation, and Engineering Excellence. HPA award winners will be spotlighted at the “Post Pit” at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 11-14, 2011.

Their sponsorship and presentation of the Engineering Excellence Award Sponsored by the NAB Show represents a very important partnership for the Hollywood Post Alliance. The HPA Engineering Excellence Award is a sought-after honor in post production, and there is literally no organization better aligned with the mission of the Awards than NAB.
