Production Design in Animation: Celebrating 100 Years of Imagination will be this year's theme for the Art Directors Guild 22nd Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards where the guild will debut its new award category Excellence in Production Design for an Animated Feature Film.
ADG event producers Thomas A. Walsh and Thomas Wilkins made the announcement. The annual awards gala honoring production design in theatrical motion pictures, television, commercials and music videos will take place January 27, 2018, in the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles.
Said Walsh: "It is our intention to honor and celebrate great production design achievements in the remarkable and evolving art form of animation through this new award. By separating feature animation into its own constituent category, we wish to pay tribute to these creative works in a manner equivalent to all our other feature design categories."
