The Conch Awards 2009
The Conch Launch 2009
Now in its fourth year of celebrating the very best of British audio talent, The
Conch Awards is back for 2009 with some exciting new features to complement
the old favourites.
In such a short space of time, just four years, The Conch Awards
has swiftly grown to become an acknowledged and muchanticipated
night of recognition for the UK audio post production
industry. Far from just receiving a clap on the back and a, ‘good job
mate’ for those most deserving, the awards stand to applaud those
achievements of editors, mixers, and all manner of sound titles, right
across the industry spectrum, whether that be film or TV, drama,
entertainment, or commercial.
This is the idea that kick-started the very first Conch awards,
and is an integral premise that still rings true four years later: that
of recognising British talent in an open and accessible way for all.
Dennis Weinrich, originator of the Conch dream, says the aim was
to “…recognise British talent, in a traditionally under-recognised
field”; and that goal has been achieved with amazing success.
“The Conch has raised the profile of, and established the concept of, post production sound in people’s
minds who never really thought about it before. We now have a ground swell of people understanding
more about what we do.”
Top of the list for a fresh new look for the 2009 Conch Awards is the brand new venue: Kings
Place in London, an elegant recital hall with capacity to entertain all. Also shiny new this year is the
category for Best Foley Project for TV, Film, or Commercial. There is also the host of traditional awards
(detailed below), all voted on by the industry and judged by the recognised high-profile judging panel.
As in years past, you’re also guaranteed a night of stylish entertainment and celebration with the cream
of the audio world: a night worthy of dusting off your tux and buffing up your shoes for sure.
