The 2007 DVDA Excellence Awards are presented by the DVD Association for the benefit of our members, sponsors and the DVD community. These Awards recognize excellence in the talent, creativity, craftsmanship and application of technology in the production and authoring of DVD, Blu-Ray and HD DVD discs. Overall quality of a finished title is considered, but relative audience appeal of the content is not a criterion in the judging. Skills used in the art and science of the creation of each title determine the final score. The Excellence Awards are based on merit rather than a traditional competition. Entries are not ranked as first, second or third place; Instead, an independent panel of Optical Disc professionals will score a maximum of 100 points for each entry, based on designated criteria.

To reflect the industry’s growth into the next generation of technology, the 2007 Excellence Awards are open to the Standard Definition and High Definition formats, DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Entry is open to all distributors, producers, publishers, artists, developers, authors and designers in all product categories. The Excellence Awards do not accept entries for adult entertainment content. Visit the site for details. Deadline 27 April.
