Nominations are now open for the 2003 Wally Award. First presented in 1992 to the late Wally Russell, the prestigious Wally Russell Lifetime Achievement Award is presented annually in his honor to a leading light in the entertainment design and technology field.

The Wally Award is presented at the annual LDI Entertainment Technology Show, to be held this year October 21, 22, and 23, 2003.
