NEW YORK―The DailyDOOH Gala Awards, a black-tie industry award event took place on Thursday, October 14, as part of New York Digital Signage Week. This year saw more than 100 submissions from all over the world, with 36 finalists competing in only twelve categories.
Installations featuring high-end digital signage manufactured by SNA Displays won two Gala Awards.
Best Corporate or Hospitality Install: AT&T Discovery District
AT&T leveraged technology and media to not only reinvigorate its downtown Dallas corporate campus but also create a community-accessible environment, all while heightening brand awareness and transforming the central business district. The technology and media giant combined audio-video elements, LED lighting, and 12,000 square feet of LED signage with mesmerizing – and seamlessly integrated – awe-inspiring immersive digital artwork to establish a can’t-miss destination known as the AT&T Discovery District.
The project was designed, planned, and managed by global architecture and design firm Gensler. SNA Displays manufactured the internal and external LED display technology for The District, coordinated with the project team of design professionals and specialty contractors, and supervised installation of all LED signage.
Best Original Digital Billboard: Grandscape Stylon™
Grandscape is a destination shopping center in North Dallas featuring digital signage throughout the development, the centerpiece of which is a double-ellipsoid-shaped vertical digital billboard surrounded by a reflecting pond with fountain features. The double-sided, 43′-tall-by-37′-wide Stylon™ was designed and engineered by the experiential design firm Barnycz Group and manufactured by SNA Displays. BOLDSITE Media handles advertising sales for the videoboard.
Dennis Hickey, Gerard Shallo, Nicole Rotyliano, Pete Simon, and Stew Ives attended the gala and accepted both awards on SNA Displays’ behalf.
“It’s great to be recognized in our industry for great work,” said Hickey, president of SNA Displays. “The real credit obviously goes to the designers and managers of these kinds of creative, mold-breaking projects. It’s truly a privilege to be associated with clients and partners like Gensler and Barnycz Group.”
