It’s February already, so since time is flying by, perhaps you might want to fill in your calendar for October. The Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio has just announced that the 22nd Annual Technical Excellence and Creativity (TEC) Awards will be held on Saturday, October 7th. The event will take place at the Hilton San Francisco on the second night of the 121st AES Convention. The TEC Awards, founded in 1985 by Mix magazine, honors outstanding achievement in professional audio production and product design.
The TEC Awards include 16 categories of Technical Achievement for excellence in product design along with eight categories of Creative Achievement in audio projects, which could be record production, live sound, audio for film and so forth. Entries for projects or products to be considered for nominations for Creative and Technical Achievement will be accepted through Friday, February 26th. Proceeds from the TEC Awards ceremony go to support education programs on hearing health, and also endow scholarship funds in the audio arts and sciences at major colleges and universities.
