The winner of the Enrico Caironi Award for Lifetime Recognition was John Offord, presented by KOI co-ordinator and lighting designer Durham Marenghi. John has been a great influence for the good on a lot of people in our industry, says Marenghi. He launched Lighting and Sound International in 1985, was fundamental to the success of PLASA and is now not only editor of ETNow but has also published over 80 books about our industry from technical to artistic.
Previous winners of this award include lighting designer Richard Pilbrow in 2011, Bryan Leitch in 2012, Ian Dow in 2013, Brian Croft in 2014 and CEO of ETC Fred Foster in 2015. The category is named in recognition of former Clay Paky commercial director Enrico Caironi (1947 - 2011), whose inspiration and enthusiasm created and subsequently shaped the Knight of Illumination Awards.
Backup - The Technical Entertainment Charity (formerly Behind The Scenes UK), the charity which supports entertainment technology professionals in times of need, received a £5,000 cheque at the ceremony thanks to a donation from Clay Paky. The companys Chief Executive Officer Pio Nahum presented the cheque to John Simpson of White Light, who was standing in for lighting designer Rick Fisher.
We welcome this generous support for Backup and urge all to join Clay Paky in contributing to our charity and alerting us to those who may need help, said Simpson during the ceremony.
