The Association of Imaging Technology and Sound (ITS) celebrated excellence in electronic production and post-production at the 21st annual International Monitor Awards held on July 15th.

Each year, the winners of the awards are chosen from the best work worldwide: nine craft areas and 18 categories award trophies for outstanding work encompassing television, film, commercials, corporate communications, and interactive multimedia. Honors are given to producers, editors, animators, graphic designers, visual effects artists, audio mixers, sound designers, composers and color correction teams.

The gala presentation of the awards is the culmination of the ITS Annual Forum, a four-day event that ran from July 21-24 at the Waldorf Astoria.
