Excellence in Optical Technologies Awards
Each year since its inception, the IOTA has given Excellence in Holography Awards to outstanding holographic projects for the year. Following the expansion of the association in 2025 the awards have been relaunched as the IOTA Excellence in Optical Technologies Awards covering now all optical technologies. Sponsored by the industry newsletter Holography & Optical Technologies News, these awards and commendations are presented during the annual industry event – The Optical & Digital Document Security Conference– for optical products or techniques introduced over the previous year which represent the best in the industry for innovation and commercial potential. As such, they recognise outstanding achievement and mark out those who are at the forefront of the sector.
Any company or individual is eligible to enter – not only IOTA members. There is a cap of two nominations per organisation per category, of which there are seven. The same nomination can be submitted for more than one category.
- Best Innovation in Optically Variable Technologies
- Best Origination
- Best Disruptive Technology
- Best Integrated Technology/ Best Document Security Application
- Best Product Security Application
- Best Decorative / Packaging Product
- Lifetime Achievement Award
The winners are announced and presented during a special awards ceremony at the end of the first conference day.
