Click on a photo below to go to a page with a list of all the ILDA Award winners for that year. The list will include Artistic, Technical, Career and special Awards. Pages for recent years usually have links to YouTube videos of the winning entries, as well.
The photos below represent an Award winner from that year, usually the first place Laser Photography winner. (Award photos are not available for 1999 and earlier.) The location listed is where the Awards were presented at that year's ILDA Conference.
* There was no ILDA Conference in 2005, so the 2005 Awards were presented at the 2006 ILDA Conference. Similarly, the 2006 and 2007 Awards were presented at the 2007 and 2008 ILDA Conferences. This situation was fixed by skipping the Awards numbering for 2008, so that the 2009 Awards could be presented at the 2009 ILDA Conference.
