IDEA annually recognizes superior achievement throughout the large
screen video and matrix display industry by awarding its Golden Matrix Awards
(GMAs) at the annual IDEA conference. The purpose of the GMAs is to recognize
artistic and technical excellence in the programming of large screen video and
matrix displays located at stadiums, arenas, racetracks, convention centers and
other public assembly facilities. The GMAs are also intended to provide an
opportunity for the large screen video and matrix display industries to share
ideas and to view the wide variety of productions that have been created over
the past year.
In order to be eligible, entries must have been produced by an Active IDEA member for
display on the member's system to a live audience during that member's event. The GMAs gives members
the chance to show off their best work to their colleagues and voting for all
categories is done by the members, themselves. Since its inception the awards
ceremony and winners have received considerable press coverage. The Golden
Matrix Awards were created by Mitsubishi Diamond Vision and SONY JumboTRON in
1988.
